just users, who want to fly from one airport to second and you can't say to them "why don't you do it yourself.
No, I can't ? I just said it to show the paralelism "wishing a feature" is equal to "doing it yourself" - do you get what I mean?
OSG was implemented 2 years ago and I think it's enough time to add shadows or we haven't got any programmers? And this is next reason why we haven't got many users.
EDIT: thanks for link. I see developers are confused.
Did you looked yourself here in the forum for "shadows"? Fred, one of our shader-writer explained it already....
We indeed currently have only one developer active behind graphics in the deep core of FGFS. He was the one who developed the effect systems which allows us to develope shader-effects and make use of them "easily" (create shader, create the .eff-file and just put it into the right folder....). He worked more than a year on it!
To get shadows and lights the whole effects-systems needs another change- which means some work and it needs some time. It is by the way proposed for the
GoggleCodeOfSummer this year! Any volunteers?
