=== Weather (Thorsten) ===
* lightfields and Rembrandt working together
* lightfields properly supported by Basic Weather
* a redesign of the weather interfaces, basically going to the unified weather
system people have been talking about - some ideas and brainstorming urgently
needed!


Then some fixes for long-standing, not really critical but annoying bugs
* <del>the current rain system still only works for Basic Weather</del> {{Done}} (by Stuart for 2.10)
* turbulence should affect YaSim and JSBSim the same way
Then maybe some cool, but not so important features to make things complete:
* lightning (and thunder?) for thunderstorms
* windsocks moving with ground wind rather than wind at aircraft position
Ideally, making full use of things we already have to present the best possible
scenery
* regionalized random building types
* dedicated texture packs for the main vegetation zones
* exploit the placement mask possibilities fully
And then, ship 3.0 with (finally) the next edition of a world scenery release,
so we can really present much better visuals! So, personally I'd like 3.0 to be
a release that doesn't only have cool features, but also cool features which
work basically everywhere and a release that doesn't have the current snags
like 'this doesn't work with that, and the GUI is counter-intuitive and so on.
Let me be the first to admit that it's much more fun doing my own stuff the way
I like and then just merge it in. But if we can find consensus about any plan
having to do with integration of new features and making it all work together,
then I'm willing to reserve the majority of my coding time for working towards
that goal. Would this be something to aim for in a 3.0 release?
