#2618 Launcher: flightgear ignores renderer setting

[legoboyvdlp]

According to user dilibert, no matter the selection of Default or ALS in the launcher FlightGear will start with ALS on. I can confirm this on 2020.3.9 -- perhaps autosave is overriding the selection in the launcher.

Can someone check if the launcher command line is correct or not? That would tell us if it's a actual launcher bug, or a 'FlightGear remembers the old value' issue.

Confirmed here on 2020.3.11 as of 2021-11-05.

I think the problem is that the default renderer does not pass anything like --disable-als.

--enable-real-weather-fetch
--prop:/nasal/local_weather/enabled=true
--prop:/sim/gui/dialogs/metar/mode/global-weather=false
--prop:/sim/gui/dialogs/metar/mode/local-weather=true
--prop:/sim/gui/dialogs/metar/mode/manual-weather=true
--prop:/local-weather/tmp/tile-management=METAR
--prop:/local-weather/tmp/tile-type=live
--disable-rembrandt
--prop:/sim/rendering/texture-cache/cache-enabled=true
--geometry=1366 x 768
--enable-terrasync
--disable-sentry
--restart-launcher
--aircraft-dir=/home/mike/src/git/ac/MiG-15
--aircraft=MiG-15bis
--airport=EDHE
--parking-id=Gras_parking_3

(nor does it pass --prop:/sim/rendering/shaders/skydome=false which seems to be the way)

[James Turner]

Okay should be an easy fix, but is this a regression or did it never work since 2020.3 ? Which would be weird, but also weird if it regressed.

The Default/ALS option has been removed from the launcher with [8ec91b], expiring this issue.
