Hi All, I don't think I saw any response to this either for or against. I realize it's a bit late, but I'd still like to do this for the 2.8.0 release. Any objections? I've been using the regional textures for the past couple of months and really think they are an improvement for those areas that are defined. We now have two regions (Europe and Hawaii) defined, and after the release I'm planning to add a couple more (the Caribbean in particular using the Hawaii forest texture). We've got a bunch of scenery improvements in 2.8.0, including object masking, regional textures and random buildings, and I think we should be making these easy for new users to see. After the release I may also see if we can have the materials.xml file selectable from a dialog and re-loadable from in-sim. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
