I suspect both of these are my 'fault', but equally I was only made aware of
the TerraSync one a few weeks ago, and the screenshot one, this is the first
I've heard of it.
In both cases a defect in bug tracker, CC-ed to me, with some detailed
information, would greatly help, since these are not features I use, so I need
to know what behaviour is considered 'right'. In particular saying it should
work 'as it always did' is not helpful.
In the particular case of the Terrasync path I am especially confused because
it's not possible to change the terrasync path once fgfs is running, as never
has been as far as I know; since we can't adjust scenery paths with restarting
the sim. So, to re-iterate, the defect really needs to explain what the
intended use-case was here, since I am clueless.
BTW, concerning the larger issue of different rendering pipelines / approaches,
my opinion is, and remains, that the long-term solution is separate viewer
codebases - while a plethora would be bad, we would already benefit from a
'fixed-function, no shaders' renderer codebase distinct from a Rembrandt
renderer and modern, forward-rendering OpenGL 3.x pipeline. This needs the
viewer to be cleanly split out from the simulation backend, via HLA, which is
exactly what Mathias (and soon, myself) are working towards, but slowly.
