Hardly. It isn't rendering anything while it's calling the idle loop. Only when the initialization is done (idle_state == 1000) the rendering fun begins. And this patch does only move parts, not add any. I'll wait until you can provide some numbers to back up your suspicion. :-) > (black screen + progress bar?) I thought about a progress bar, or better: an info line that says: "initializing navigation data", "initializing airport data", etc. That entertains people a lot and makes the startup time appear shorter. m. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
