Re: TERRAIN DATABASES
Wish I could help, but I think your mission might just be impossible until
MS release a new version. Object blending is not very good in FS9.1 -- this
might be intended also (to make it easier to see runways, buildings, etc.)
but I suspect it is more a matter of retaining flexibility and just not
coding anything for pixel shaders (which to be fair weren't available in
"retail" video cards way back when FS9.1 was being developed). Terrain
texture is the only way I think you could even remotely get close to what
you want to accomplish -- objects will always just stick out -- have you
tried experimenting with a clear reflective surface around the objects to be
rescued -- you might be able to disguise it a little.
