Indeed, this will also pave the way for interchangeability between the
various OSG-supported formats. Certainly a good move - which leaves the
orientation of AC3D models as a remaining issue ....
Now, we already have approx. 1k5 3D Scenery models, so chances are high
that quite a few are affected by such a change and I'd be happy to
apply an automated conversion if this is technically possible.
What are we going to do about the users of our Scenery. Should we:
a) leave the Scenery 3D models unchanged until the next software
release, thus leaving users of FlightGear/CVS with strange-looking
3D models;
b) convert the Scenery 3D models _now_ together with the software at
the risk of unsatisfied users of the latest official software
release;
c) sync this sort of major changes with a minor software release ?
My vote goes to c).
Cheers,
Martin.
