Several aircraft developers have manifested their interest in being able to render scene views to a texture (RTT) {{Wikipedia|Render target}} and use it inside cockpits as mirrors, external cameras (so called tail cams) and other uses. | Several aircraft developers have manifested their interest in being able to render scene views to a texture (RTT) {{Wikipedia|Render target}} and use it inside cockpits as mirrors, external cameras (so called tail cams) and other uses. | ||
With the [[Compositor]] framework it's possible to configure custom render pipelines in XML space, which together with Effect schemes allow complete control over how a rendered scene looks. A synthetic terrain can be rendered by assigning an Effect scheme to a <tt>scene</tt> type pass, which textures all terrain with a brown checkerboard pattern and paints the sky in a solid blue color. All other objects are ignored and aren't rendered, saving a lot of computation time. Custom render distances independent from the main LOD settings can also be used to further optimize the performance of the display. | With the [[Compositor]] framework it's possible to configure custom render pipelines in XML space, which together with Effect schemes allow complete control over how a rendered scene looks.
