I've checked in a fix for the sign-back problem. The airport sign code is
not fast graphics code and needs another look, but for the moment it works.
As for the other complaints...

I'm not sure what "instead of changing the shading on the panel, we change
the shading on the scenery too" means. The scenery and 3d panels are shaded
the same way using the global lighting direction. The shading on the panel
can change quickly as you turn; obviously the shading on the scenery changes
slowly. If you're seeing weird shading changes on the scenery, that could be
due to a couple of factors:
* Just before the release we found a bug in the shaders that could cause
wacky shading changes on ATI hardware. If you're running on ATI make sure
you have the latest Effects and Shaders in data.
* The shading on transparent windshields might be wrong, or it might be
different enough that it causes the scenery's shading to change.
* Otherwise, I don't know; it's possible that there is a new bug. I need to
see screenshots, a detailed description of FG version, hardware, driver
version, etc.

I don't get that from David's posting.

If it didn't look any different with shaders, there wouldn't be much point
in supporting them, would there? ;)
