..ok, it flies ;o): "bash run_fgfs.sh --geometry=1920x1200 \
 --fg-scenery=/home/arnt/FG-git/FGScenery-2.8 --httpd=8765 \
 --disable-terrasync --enable-fullscreen --control=keyboard \
 --prop:/controls/gear/brake-parking=1 --timeofday=noon &"
except I couldn't find where in the prop tree to turn off the 
"ATI hack".

..the noon lighting is waaay off, think sunrise and sunset, only 
in the South (or North for penguins), and we don't have smog 
except around Nikel, Russia, on a typical CAVOK day at ENAN, 
the clean air will have you smog breathers from the smoky South,
guesstimate the distance to Senja (the island due East) at 1km, 
1.5km, 2km etc, it's 30km, make it look like "1.5km" and keep 
an 150km visibility, and it should be realistic.  I can imagine 
Southern high latitudes will need a similar treatment.

..the trees needs snow, or frost sheen, and conifers company, 
pine and spruce is farmed in wood "fields", not spread all 
over the country like birch.  
It takes wind or rain to get the white stuff off trees, conifers
will carry snow on branches far into the spring, think Easter 
time.  Trees get smaller towards the coast. 

..snow cover is continous up here, "until around Easter." 

..the mountains ... are we getting a new scenery for 2.10?
I tested with the 2.8 scenery.

  Scenarios always come in sets of three: 
  best case, worst case, and just in case.
