Oh, sorry, let me elaborate ... 1. I'm assuming we keep the airport database (but maybe omit runways etc) 2. Given an airport ID, FGFS must priority load the relevant file above 3. The remaining files (between zero and about 300) are defer loaded 4. When the scenery loader thread has no tiles to do, it does one file 5. Thus, we can put huge amounts of information into each airport record _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
