In my opinion it would be a terrific idea to review the corresponding code and see if/what and how things could be adapted to become increasingly configurable - if breakage/backward compatibility should turn out to be problematic, we could introduce a dedicated subsystem - pretty much based on the approach/features that Thorsten is using in [Earthview#|Earthview]] | |||

Background

The code I'm looking at is a few of the key parts of what needs to be adapted for landing on the moon! The ephemeris code, the lighting code, and the osg scene set up in the FG renderer. I was thinking of exactly what needs to be done for a moon landing (or orbit) as I was looking at all of this. |

The basic idea being to encapsulate a light source, and LOD nodes for different ranges/visibility and texture sheets, in conjunction with effects/shaders that are to be applied. This would be in line with how many other features in FlightGear started out being hard-coded, were then moved to become property-configurable, and finally become fully instantiable/modifiable at run-time (AI traffic, models, Canvas, camera views) |
