Yes, I noticed that but didn't remove. Wa
In the $fgroot/Lighting you can control the ambient and diffues
lighting based on sun angle.

IMHO it should be possible to have different rendering parameters for
the aircraft than for the rest of the scenery, for example by having
it in its own tree. Then, yo

I know how MSFS nightlighting works (Its fairly trivial), so if we
could change the lighting parameters for the 3D model only (I guess we
do not want MSFS lighting for the rest), we could have night-lit
aircraft. Often, this looks really great, I experi

That's mostly dead code. FGModelMgr::draw is now a no-op and should
be removed (Jim?):

The model is not in its own graph in external view,

Yes, I've had this discussion as well. The sun should stop being a

You need 8 notebooks with big LCD panels and GeForce cards, together

He'll need his own FDM, then.

Funny you should mention that -- plib has a new (mostly undocumented)
particle system designed for just that sort of thing. I'm not getting
