This has been on my TODO list for some time, and I'm planning to get it done before 3.0.0. Unfortunately it's in the same area of code that I'm currently working on for the improved building placements, so I need to get that completed first. I've made a fair bit of progress on the improved buildings - I now have the PagedLOD working correctly, though it SIGSEGV after a while. > 5) following a forum discussion about lightmaps for city and suburban > terrain, my idea would be to use the urban effect for this (which has that > functionality already) and run a version of the urban shader without the > relief effect if random buildings are on. That appears to be working fine: > http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=21059 > FredB - is this a modification to the urban effect you can agree with? I've added this to my TODO list as well - I saw the forum post. FYI - RL is going to get in the way of FG development for me from now until mid-December due to house renovations. > 6) there's still a 'crack' in the sky visible when the skydome shader is > used.

I've taken a cursory look at this in the past but not seen anything obvious.

Not sure whether this is C++ related, and whether you mean the lettering on the runway itself or the lit runway/taxiway signs. If the latter, I should be able to fix this at the same time as the lighting above. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
