Subject: Bugfix: remove SGSky minimum distance check.
X-Git-Url: https://git.mxchange.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fb54386f8d904477333af424a5cbedc6e09ede25;p=simgear.git

Bugfix: remove SGSky minimum distance check.

Without this, various sky rendering modes exhibit artefacts in low-
visibility conditions. The cost of always rendering the dome is
negligible. (And Rembrandt already had to work this way)
