[Flightgear-devel] Genapts bug with grass and dirt runways

2009-08-08 Thread Ron Jensen
I noticed long ago that only 1/2 of dirt and grass runways were "textured". The untextured part was an appropriate color so I didn't worry too much about it. Yesterday papillon81 brought the issue up on IRC because he'd like to improve the texture. Looking at the code and using simgear's decode_

That might be best . I know very little about what information a real scope displays , and intercepting a radial is the pilots job , so I dont know if I can bring myself to add that line ;).

Same thing here, ongoing for at least 2 weeks. People often missing in chat and mp list, though I can see them visually. Sometimes it seems to only let me "see" two others in the chat/mp_list at a time, other times I can see more, and rarely can see everyone. I have zero nasal errors, or errors of

I've committed a version of Till Busch's terrain effects, as seen at LinuxTag. I know that he hasn't finished tuning them, and I've changed his landmass effect to use the base terrain texture, which he's not entirely in agreement with :) Nevertheless, they are great examples of using the new effect
