For this much larger topic, see the other thread from Josh about HDR / =
PBR. But we do expect this to be a major change, breaking aircraft =
compatibility. And we expect to produce tooling and scripts to ease the =
transition, *but* also to have some unavoidable re-work manually for =
each aircraft. (Especially, re-creating the textures) The expectation is =
that =E2=80=98next=E2=80=99 might be released with only 5-10 compatible =
aircraft, and then more will gradually be ported over the following =
releases, and some unmaintained aircraft may never be ported.

Kind regards,
James
