Lee Elliott:
while I was researching the MiG-15bis I found a reference to the
approach speed as being 93 kts and although I thought this was
far too low I went with it until I found a better source of info
- well I have now. I found a good personal account of flying
the MiG-15UT (the dual seat trainer version) and in this the
pilot says that he comes over the fence at 125 kts - a much more
realistic speed.
Anyway, I've incorporated this value into the YASim approach
section and considering that this is quite a major change I
thought I'd get an update to you.
The 3d model has been updated as well but is still un-textured.
The YASim config still needs quite a bit of work as there are a
few quirks I want to sort out. One of them is that if I use low
altitude datum (0 ft) in the cruise section, which should define
the max speed at that alt, it can actually exceed it by about 15
kt. On the other hand, if I use high altitude datum it can't
reach the max speed at 0 ft - it's about 100 kt too slow.
Therefore I've plumped for the low alt datum and while it's a
struggle to achieve it's ceiling it can just about sustain
flight at 50,000 ft, at around the right speed.
A few other files have been changed too.

Changes
=======
- shadowvolume.cxx, renderer.cxx :
- reduced the polygon offset a bit to eliminate some artifact ;
- changed again the cleanup code for objects inside a tile because it could crash on rare occasion ;
- the culling of shadow casters has been rewritten to traverse the scene graph, it should be
a bit faster when there is a lot of objects ;
- the range selector was not correctly handled, sometimes the wrong LOD was casting shadows.
- added the option to display aircraft's transparent objects after the shadows, this will
reduce the problem of shadows being hidden by the transparent object (propeller disk,
rotor, etc). A side effect is that aircraft's transparent objects won't receive shadows
anymore. This is usually a good thing except when the aircraft use a 'transparent'
texture where it should not. A transparent texture in the plib context is a texture
with an alpha channel or a material with alpha <= 0.99.
- model.cxx, animation.cxx, shadowvolume.cxx :
- added an optional <condition> under the <noshadow> animation
- tower.cxx
- correct a rare bug where all occurences of the aircraft are not deleted from the
departure list causing a crash in FGTower::CheckDepartureList function.
