As You may know, I am making "Vostok-1" project for FG. It flies already, I had made orbit twice, other guys had made some suborbital flights because of control hardness.
But most of flight time goes on high altitudes and high speeds which current FG terrain engine could not properly provide. If visibility distance is short then it shows only clouds and still loads some terrain with great lags producing for unknowing reason, it even may drop out, I suppose because of memory overload. If visibility distance is high enough then view becomes very cool http://i.imgur.com/2TZKX.jpg but it becomes useless completely, fps drops to one in minutes. There's gotta be something way more simple, maybe without buildings at all, but what could allow 1000km field of view and could change it completely in two minutes. With proper realization, I mean switching on only on high altitudes, it would not affect normal FG users. Needed data can be downloaded separately, so it would not affect normal users in that mean two. I suppose to include already existing GPL solution would be better than create own, maybe because I am more craft developer than simulator developer. So maybe You have some suggestions what it could be? Any help will be highly appreciated. Me personally can not invest in it a lot of time because of need to make additions to "Vostok", list of needed things is huge still. But I am needing stable ground in that matter highly and hope there is others who could like to be an astronauts in FG and need it too.
