Dave I've built custom scenery from 100m DEMs only you need to increase FG_MAX_NODES from 4000 to maybe 40000 and have error in main.cxx for example 10 or 5 meters on geforce3 and dualPIII800 I got 30 fps and have around 30000 nodes per tile and all works fine But on mountains there are a lot errors when you built with min-angle=0 but overwise you got a lot of polygons :((( So a lot of things to do > > > All the best, > > > David > > -- > David Megginson, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.megginson.com/ > > _______________________________________________ > Flightgear-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel > _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
