Thanks for the feedback/ideas so far! Hope to get some more throughout the week.

It does, partly. As I said, the 3D clouds require a source edit (which I'm
incapable of), so those
are still shader dependant, but the trees are uncoupled by my merge. Do note
that there is
bug #494 that makes it appear broken.

Valid point. Will take care of that.

Allowing people to switch individual shaders on/off isn't just a matter of
framerates. On my old
computer for example, I am unable to use the bumpmap shader. Most other shaders
work fine
though. The current dialog forces me to disable all shaders, just because that
single one doesn't
work on my machine. Doesn't work as in "breaks my aircraft in hunderts of
pieces".

In what way? As far as I can see it works fine here...

Right. The snow line is a rather strange thing. I agree that it's better of in
the rendering dialog
for now (especially because it also works with local-weather). Will move it
back.

See my comment to vivian about the trees. Would be nice if you could look at
the clouds!

+1 and a "density" slider as well.
I'll see if I can update the merge-request today.
