Right, in the current Terrain file format we just define a surface type
name and leave it to FlightGear to look the characteristics up in the
'materials.xml' file.
Note that we're currently dealing with at least two different types of
'water areas', "Lake" and "Ocean", and we're telling between different
seasons. Thus, whichever approach you're taking, please don't simply
rely on water areas being represented by "Ocean". One day we might even
define the surface characteristics in the Terrain tiles instead of
looking up in the 'materials.xml' ....
Cheers,
Martin.
