What is the most important ?
1/ To have a working stable Program whose the major options ( ALS,
REMBRANDT) remains options since conflicting each other.
2/ To have a working stable Program which include as a standard one of
these two options, which would definitively push on the back the other one.
OR
3/ To wait for better development reaching the target to have REMBRANDT and
ALS working well all together, and definitively included within FG.
Though the FG release numbering choice won't be that important ( it is
only symbolic), if the policy by choosing 3.0 is to say to the world , "yes
we have a new great FG version",right now *we don't have it* . We only can
say: we are on progress , there is some improvements, there is some bugs
which are fixed.
The basic content remains the same, some Aircrafts are flying with
Rembrandt not with ALS , others are flying with ALS not with Rembrandt.
BTW: There is a huge issue which should be solved, we have noticed some
not explained "performances drop down" when using some GPU
