{{cquote|concerning the larger issue of different rendering pipelines / approaches, my opinion is, and remains, that the long-term solution is separate viewer codebases - while a plethora would be bad, we would already benefit from a 'fixed-function, no shaders' renderer codebase distinct from a Rembrandt renderer and modern, forward-rendering OpenGL 3.x pipeline. This needs the viewer to be cleanly split out from the simulation backend, via HLA, which is exactly what Mathias (and soon, myself) are working towards, but slowly.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg39922.html|title=<nowiki>Re: [Flightgear-devel] Atmospheric Light Scattering</nowiki>|author=James Turner|date=Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:09:08 -0700}}</ref>|James Turner}} | {{cquote|concerning the larger issue of different rendering pipelines / approaches, my opinion is, and remains, that the long-term solution is separate viewer codebases - while a plethora would be bad, we would already benefit from a 'fixed-function, no shaders' renderer codebase distinct from a Rembrandt renderer and modern, forward-rendering OpenGL 3.x pipeline.

{{cquote|Like you and Thorsten, I see a very significant drop (50%) in frame-rate with Rembrandt, even without most the nice features such as shadows which has put me off using it. I had thought it was just because my box is now underpowered (the march of technology....) but it sounds like other are | |||
