Thorsten did not even remotly say anything like that. Your accusation is 
completely uncalled for. If this is what you read in his last email, please 
try to find someone who reads Thorsten's English the way he meant it and have 
him explain to you. It would be a shame if a solution would fail due to a 
language barrier.

On a Radeon HD 5670 I get 3 (in words: three) FPS with Rembrandt using the 
free radeon drivers with lots of graphics problems and very ugly shadows. On 
the other hand I get solid 15-20 FPS using ALS and pretty maxed out quality.

Maybe. On some systems it ALS might be a problem, on others it's Rembrandt.

And you have only your own system for comparison. Just like I only got mine. 
And yours and mine certainly don't match. So while maybe Thorsten cannot give 
general adivse on FG's performance on low level equipment, neither can you and 
neither can I.

I can start FG, go to the rendering _options_ and turn ALS on and off, at 
runtime, as often as I like. How is this not an option?

And Thorsten time and again explained on solid technical grounds why he 
implemented it the way he did, why he had to and what the consequences of 
other approaches would have been. I have to date not seen anyone even 
acknowledge these reasons, much less provide real arguments against them.

Why Thorsten has not given up on this yet is just beyond me. This is not a 
discussion, it's just handwaving and accusations. I'm just very glad, that he 
didn't give up. So instead, I can enjoy as much of the great flying experience 
as I can get during the long winter months.

And just to be clear: I'd love to have all the goodies combined. Very nice 
shadows provided by the Rembrandt defered renderer combined with stunning ALS 
visuals and correctness and the performance of the default renderer with all 
effects turned off. But that's simply not possible, so instead I enjoy what 
_is_ possible.

Regards,
Stefan
