That should be doable, but not done for the moment. Changes are located in CameraGroup.[ch]xx and Renderer.cxx for the flightgear side, in sgmaterial.lib for the simgear side and in Effects/ and Shaders/ for the data side, not speaking of any model converted or enhanced with lights. The main problem to solve would be the duplication of resources. How a plane or another model would be compatible to both renderer ? But just curious : how many of you reviewed the current code ?
