There are a lot of issues with the 3d clouds. Essentially they use their own home grown scene graph which doesn't really play nice with plib. We spent a lot of time trying to hack around this and spent a lot of time answering a myriad of end user questions from people who were having a wide variety of problems with the code. In the end, I ran out of time to spend on this, and no one else was able to dig in and work on the issues, so I disabled the 3d clouds by default. At some point when I have some "spare" time, I'd like to return to the 3d cloud issue, figure them all out, and port them to plib. I think ultimately, that is the only way we will get them to work well in FlightGear. But, for now I have about 250 things higher on my priority list. :-( Curt. -- Curtis Olson IVLab / HumanFIRST Program FlightGear Project Twin Cities [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minnesota http://www.menet.umn.edu/~curt http://www.flightgear.org _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
