Hi R. Your suggestion of sub-orbital flight last month got me thinking: If my altitude is > 25 miles, will the scenery get loaded?
I uncommented the debugging output in src/Scenery/tilemgr.cxx and tried a high-speed flight from Seattle to Peru or Chile (some impressive mountain range) where I flew down some valley toward the Pacific. (Ok, this is what I like FlightGear for.) :-) It worked. The tile cache seemed to work well. Later, last week, I managed to pin down when the fps goes sluggish, and it wasn't on a long flight. It is during "catching up on tile delete queue" That's what I thought might be a problem... Perhaps because it tries to catch up on too many tiles at once.
