Is there any documentation on the binary scenery file format and how
FlightGear/SimGear renders the terrain?
I've searched through all the docs and have not found anything.
And no the doxygen docs are not helping me at all - doxygen does not explain
the logic used in the terrain rendering.

I would love to have a poll on this topic to see how many people would like
some eye-candy and those that don't care much about it.
If no one want's any visual improvements in FlightGear then I better not

I think an eye-candy vs. dynamics/procedureal accuracy debate is a bit
pointless in the context of FlightGear.
Ultimately, the trend for any simulator will be towards improvements in
both areas and

Well some areas of FG could be improved a lot with little effect on frame
rates.
For instance a nice big library of tileable textures and a scenery builder
that knows how to build tiled scenery based on land class data.

However I do agree with you about optimizing FG.
It has scenery comparable with FS98 but runs about 1000% slower.
I'm sure that some of that has to do with the processing that goes into
rendering the nice gauges,etc but there probably is plenty of room for
tweaking the
Which means that as soon as someone adds a nice medium to high res elevation
mesh FG is going to die.
Either that or TerraGear is going to have to throw away a lot of nice detail
when building the scenery.
Well let's take it as it comes.
Create the problem and then solve it. :)

Yes but at the moment there is no
I forgot to add:
There is another way of blending textures but it requires using alpha maps
which would mean a change to the rendering code.
It's a better way of doing it but there will be a performance penalty if an
extra rendering pass needs to be done.

I hope FG doesn't tie textures to every single polygon in the scenery files.
(faster rendering because the calculations don't have to be done at render
time but larger scenery files because of all the texture co-ords tied to the
vertices)
