depending on which way you're looking, there are distinct 'ridges' or creases

Just for the record, the cloud radii
Hi,
It lookes like a problem I had before...
I had the strange effect that every ac3d object which I want to animate in
some way needs to have at least two surfaces. So a simple sqare flat polygon
will not be animated. Triangulating it to have two surfaces works well.

Do you tried splitting your quad into 2 triangles ?
2. SimGear refuses to rotate the rotor shadow alone (A). The object
remains fixed like the fuselage shadow. If I add the fuselage

I've got objects shadow_fuselage and shadow_rotor. Both are very
flat, textured boxes. The strategy is:

Imagine you are drawing a tree with a quad with a texture of the tree.
The pixel outside the shape of the tree are transparent. But because
you are also writing to the depth buffer, because you don't want the
object behind clear your tree, the transparent area is

Could we just dynamically reorder the rendering
Fred,
There is a different problem with the clouds; we need to be careful not
to get distracted with a side issue here.
In the case of the clouds, the primary problem is that the shape of the
cloud bowl is much more curved than the shape of the earth. This means
the elevation above ground of

It wasn't always this way, so I deduced that it had been done
