Hello Is it Provocation ?? sure it is nota provac,! In fact we have been thinking about this multiple times in the past. There is one problem, the task is *huge*. Maybe some day it will happen, for now we have something that is working pretty well. And since this project is *not* a game we can live with what we have now.

One of the greatest complexities the we tackle is a world wide coverage for the scenery. All games (including all combat simulators) model only parts and thus can apply extreme simplifications (e.g. assuming that the world is flat). If you want to improve the optical apperance - which would be really great - you should try to work with the existing mechanims and not trying to replace them (especially when you hardly know the source code...).
