Projects for 1.4.1 World Wind Code

Please treat this a Brief Road Map and use JIRA for feature details and tagging commits.

What_Nick:

• Dstile GUI - Possibly migrate DStile to C# with new gdal c# bindings
• Better ModelFeature
  • Loading Models from a server, possibly with https-auth
  • Model shadow casting
• More ingrained time support
  • Add-ons with time support (TomServo)
    1. Satellite Tracker
    2. Earth Quakes
• QTS-T
  • Quadtilesets with time stamp
• Use Nightlights textures as an emmissive map together with sun shading to give more realistic view of the Earth at Night.(Idea from Celestia)

stepman (stephan mantler):

• download management (substantial changes)
  • already in progress, but terrain support is causing major headaches
• more flexible rendering (experimental)
  • extended shader support
  • separation of texture & terrain data
    • allow rendering of higher-res textures with lower res terrain data and vice versa (also see download management *sigh* )
    • addresses various rendering artefacts
  • will probably be through a separate entity ("QuadTile2"), switchable at startup time? (ie. loader allocates layer definitions as either QuadTileSet or QuadTile2Set)

withak

• File -> Load... gui
• reorganize menus?
• gui option to bump renderables up or down in the layer list
  • maybe make the reordering permanent
