* (08/2012): Provide an option to disable the precipitation "layer" system [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=7358&start=525#p163627]: Local Weather has no precipitation rendering. This is due to the fact that the system uses its own layer altitude definition and a 3d definition of where rain is falling, whereas the precipitation rendering system uses a lowest altitude criterion. Since lowest layer altitude is always zero when local weather is running (it uses its own cloud altitude management and since clouds need to be placed with offset to the layer, it's easiest to make that layer zero) Local Weather has never rain unless you fly to the dead sea (not much chance of rain there either...). Could someone please provide a dumb rain and snow flag which alwaysrenders rain when that flag is set and leave it to the weather system to set/unset that flag as it sees fit?

* (06/2012) Sun is always painted on top of the skydome, you even see it through what is supposed to be terrain from high altitude. That's an issue for the maintainer of the sun code, it isn't curable via Nasal. See [https://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=788&sort=-id&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Summary%20Aircraft%20Milestone]. | * (06/2012) Sun is always painted on top of the skydome, you even see it through what is supposed to be terrain from high altitude.
