Yes, I noticed that but didn't remove. Was focusing on something else. Actually I'm not sure that it ever did anything, it goes back to when you split the code out in order to support non-ac models. In any case we wavered back and forth on using a separate root for the cockpit. As far as I'm concerned it can go. For the aircraft model, more than likely we should not have a draw there either, but eventually should just update a pointer to a rendering class that contains an array of ssgroots in the order they get drawn or something like that. I think we can also do pre-draw call backs per ssgRoot that would take care of any changes that need to be made between cullanddraw's. Norman, the FGRender() has pretty much remained unchanged, especially in terms of anything that would affect lighting. The aircraft model draw() is an addition and I think a tilemgr update was moved out of it. Pretty much everything else is what has been there for a good many months (since I first looked at it last fall or so). The lighting problem has been there a while as well. It kind of needs to be a addressed with more than just a patch, as we do need to improve the 3d cockpit lighting and night time ground visibility. Also the daylight lighting isn't all that realistic. Maybe it is because the light adjustment does not account for the dilation of the pupils (which would decrease the apparent difference in light between say Noon and 4pm).
