 ===More realistic textures on mountains===
-Shader-artist Gral picked up a new project, after his forest and grassland improvements. This time he impoves the look of our mountains a lot, thanks to some "elevation and slope detecting" shaders. They replace the vegetation with rocks above a certain elevation or on steep faces. Transition between the different terraintypes are extremely smooth, especially when compared to the usual landcover-transition (eg. between land and ocean) in FlightGear.
