Robert,
Here's a simple viewer I wrote that does non-continuous render and exhibits
the problem. You can just run it like the osgviewer application, passing in
the path to a database on the command line. I have also included a stats
handler that will cause the app to switch to continuous render while it is
onscreen. I have only tested this with osgEarth, so I don't know if the
problem manifests itself with VPB databases. The reloading problem wouldn't
manifest itself when I ran an animation path because playing back the
animation essentially caused continuous rendering, but if you load an earth
database and move around a bit in the scene you should see the behavior. I
can get it to happen pretty reliably when I load the yahoo satellite images
using osgEarth, then quickly zoom in on an area that I have cached. When I
stop zooming and zoom back out or pan around, the tiles start reloading. I
had a co-worker try this out and he was able to duplicate the problem pretty
quickly, so hopefully it will happen easily for you too.
