[Flightgear-devel] Particles do not reflect sun light

2010-02-21 Thread Citronnier - Alexis Bory
Hi, I noticed that FG's particles contrails never reflect the coloured light of the sun. At sunset time, they should have the same redish color as the clouds, instead they looks like black smoke or enlightened white smoke. a) This above is with this setting: false true b) With: false

[Flightgear-devel] [PATCH] 64bit bugfix jsclient js_server
