I second that! High resolution Mesh is so important, it comes in my list much highter then hign resolution textures. You just can´t have a nice 7cm resolution texture is your mesh isn´t at least 72m, and of course, lots of place has even more detailed ones, like 19m for the entire USA, I´m pretty sure Europe has one of those too.

New DSF render will use OSM and output curves into the DSFs. The open source scenery tools code actually has the algorithm we use to bezier-ize points.

Fantastic work as always, love the pic, too, very informative, and the cliff shader sounds like a great way to go.

Is there going to be a new render of the global scenery (DSFs) for V10 that will include curved roads? I assume so, otherwise people aren't going to benefit from this feature without using new custom scenery, but I wanted to check for sure.

"99% confidence that X-Plane 10 will feature bezier curved roads" … lets hope the 1% isn't a show stopping bug that will turn your computer monitor into a death-ray >_>

sorry to ask this here, but is the xplane binary optimized for some kind of processors?
would different binaries, optimized for different processor benefit xplane?
for example, a version for processors with sse2
it should be faster than a binary for a generic arch, right?
it's just an option that you pass to the compiler, that won't give you more work
cant xplane have this?

A little off-topic, but there is one thing that I would like to know: how do you manage to work, post (multiple) blog entries, answer e-mails and comments, and everything else with only 24 hours per day? 🙂

Anything that makes roads compatible with v9 will continue to make _non-curved_ roads, which the sim will handle just fine.

You'll have to do something different to get curves; curves are "opt-in".

Will this new feature work with present road-maker software? I mean, will we be able to continue working like we do now, or will this implementation need new programs?
