[Flightgear-devel] How to apply different texturing to the terrain mesh?

2007-07-04 Thread Sebastian Bechtold
Hello together. Now that I've found that the FlightGear source code does not have to be a book with seven seals for me and I was successfull with implementing my first, although small and simple, change to it, I got the idea to try a somewhat bigger modification to the program: I'd like to do

FWIW, when flying I have often wanted to see trim indication so I think the popup is valuable. I don't know whether there should be more trim indication in plane cockpits or (because of the already-cramped screen) if a popup is a better approach, but I like the always-available popup idea.
