Preface
======================================================
I would like to see the sim become more friendly to casual users
especially on the eye candy side of things.
This does not need to detract from the scientific/academic nature of
FlightGear - you guys can carry on with the great work.
My reason for this is that a lot of people who play with sims can
also develop addons but there needs to be an incentive to get them
involved and screenshots say more than a thousand words can.
As a counterpoint, I would like to request that this either not take
priority, or that it be an option in the configure stage. I want fast
framerates as the priority. For me, this is a _flight_ sim and I don't
see the point of eyecandy. ( Personally, I was disappointed with FS2002
and much preferred the playability of FS98. FS2002 devoted too much to
eyecandy and was so obtuse in actually getting to the point where you
were in the air and flying that I stopped using it. It took about five
minutes of configuring various options before you could take off.)
Yes, I agree as well! IMO we should make FG as CPU friendly as possible
and should maintain the ultra-realism as a primary goal. Ground trees,
super detailed objects and 3d clouds should always be optional if they
eat more than 20% FPS altogether.
