Nicholas, If the openflight files are already subdivided into a grid of tiles referenced into a single master file, then there's some code I posted to the list a couple months ago that will convert them to use pagelods and also convert them to .ive format for faster loading.
Search the archives and you should see how to do it.

I was suggesting TerraPage as an illustration of how cultural data (3d models) can be stored in with the tiles on disk. In vis-sim industry TerraPage is well known so I used it as as a case in point to save typing lots... FYI, The OSG's TerraPage plugin uses the PagedLOD and the DatabasePager under the hood to provide it's paging functionality. In your case the problem is about creating databases not actually rendering them - as the OSG will do all the paging, and threading for you thanks the DatabasePager and other related classes. The DatabasePage doesn't help you create databases, it's tools like VirtualPlanetBuilder that do this, but... right now VPB doesn't support insertion of cultural data into the tiles, so you'll need post process the database to insert this data. Robert. I think there is a missunderstanding. My problem is to load a big database, not to create it. I already have my database, fragmented in FLT files like I said. So I was suggesting to use DatabasePager to load flt nodes when I need it to. In this case I think I don't have to process any data... I hope I haven't got the wrong end of the stick (again!).
