Issue #1: We finally found the reason why Heiko didn't get the lightfield scheme properly:
/sim/rendering/shader-effects is required to be true in skydome.eff but apparently not set any more by recent GIT, it was however leftover in my autosave, so I didn't notice anything. I can simply remove the condition, but the wider issue is: Is there anyone who has the master plan of how we want to control what shaders are on and can tell me what property switches I should use and what not? or if such a document does not exist, could we create one? Because this is driving me nuts... What I know is: * there's a boolean /sim/rendering/shaders/skydome which I've been using to switch on the lightfield branch - at some point, the checkbox in the menu might be renamed into 'atmospheric light scattering effects' or so because it switches about 5 other shaders (clouds, rain layers, terrain, sea,...) on as well * there are the float /sim/rendering/shaders/landmass , /sim/rendering/shaders/water, ... which correspond to the quality levels as selected in the shader menu * there's the boolean Rembrandt master switch /sim/rendering/rembrandt/enabled * there are switches for 3dclouds (not in the effect file) and random vegetation (in the effect file) * currently there doesn't seem to be a generic all-shaders-off-no-exceptions switch, although I thought there was the intention to have one? What do I do? Just use my own scheme to switch lightfields on when skydome is on, no other properties checked, tie skydome also to /sim/rendering/shaders/generic > 0, tie to some yet unknown master switch? Who has a plan? Issue #2: Curt recently asked me about turbulence in Advanced Weather. I haven't had the time to test recently, but I think the same magnitude-norm of turbulence is still treated in a different way by YaSim and JSBSim (I noted that a while ago). I'm not saying any of these is wrong, but I'd like a situation in which the same magnitude implies the about the same amount of shaking independent of which FDM I use, and I really shouldn't code any FDM-dependent statements into Advanced Weather. What's the current situation with turbulence? Has anyone looked into this, i.e. is it safe for me to code a bit more turbulence effects into Advanced Weather without making life for either YaSim or JSBSim very hard? * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
