sky rendering

[alex25]

I think I understand what you're saying now, and that's the way skybox objects currently work. They didn't used to work that way, but they do now, and you can turn it on and off in the track.txt file (default is on).

the way i think it works now, is that the horizon get projected onto the skydome (which is at some arbitrary distance far away) but instead of being projected from the origin is projected from the current car position.

what i would like implemented is something completely different. i would like to have the horizon drawn at its actual size but centered on the current viewpoint, so as you drive around the track the horizon sort of encircles the car and follows it around.

like in this diagram (top view):



where 1,2,3 are the car positions along the track, the coloured circles are the horizon and in black is the track.
