here is an updated version that also renders the models - but the origin and rotation is still wrong.

position fixed, rotation half fixed.

Here's a new update : the positition should be fixed, and the rotation is half fixed. There's still to rotate the model in the direction of it's target (for an aircraft or a missile), and to add the 3D depth.

new version: rotation is fixed. Please test.

quite nice - i will try to fix the depth issue - but the rotation issue is most likely something for your side ;)
====== tlh2000 (2010-02-02 18:35:53) ======

maybe the problem is related to the fact that we are looking into the globe and are rendering the inside of the globe, not (like one would maybe expect) the outer hull of the sphere. we are only rendering the half of the inner part of the globe.

I forgot to add a message after my last update, but the last attached patch should have a proper rotation. Basically, I think everything is OK from my side.
Concerning the depth, are you sure we render the inside of the globe? We wouldn't see the light effect of the sun if it were the case, no? (but i'm not familiar with this part of the code)

i''m almost sure - and now i'm wondering whether that might prodiuce problems with the depth rendering.

new version: I reactivated the "manual" depth test
====== kracken (2010-02-03 07:23:25) ======

Even if the globe is only the inside of the globe, the models that are behind earth should be behind that surface.
I made a new version of the patch where I reactivated the "manual" depth: i just test if the model is in front or behind of earth, and deactivated drawing if it's not in front.
So current patch fix:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1898022&group_id=157793&atid=805242

However, bug http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2938824&group_id=157793&atid=805242 is still depending of openGL depth test.
====== kracken (2010-02-06 13:24:40) ======

patch applied to trunk. There is still the depth problem to fix, however.
