+=== Random Buildings ===
+{{cquote|<nowiki>in V3.0 I plan to change this. Instead of using a scatter-gun
+approach to placement and a mask, random building location will be
+read directly from the mask, defined by a single pixel.  The color
+(actually blue value from 0-255) will define the size of building
+(small medium, large), and the red channel the rotation.
+So instead of a material designer blocking out a large area for random
+buildings to be placed within, they will define the specific location
+for each random building.
+Creating masks is going to require quite a bit more work in the "new
+world", but the end result should be better.</nowiki><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg40758.html|title=<nowiki>[Flightgear-devel] Upcoming Random Buildings changes</nowiki>|author=<nowiki>Stuart Buchanan</nowiki>|date=<nowiki>Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:40:47 -0700</nowiki>}}</ref>|<nowiki>Stuart Buchanan</nowiki>}}
