[[FlightGear]] 2.0.0 introduced effects, a powerful way to use shaders within FG without having to write C code. As of March 2010, [[FlightGear Git]] has a normal map effect (Effects/bumpspec.eff), which provides both bump mapping and specular mapping. This [[:Category:Howto|howto]] provides a tutorial on using this effect for [[aircraft]]. Similar techniques can be used to use other effects on aircraft.
