Comments on: I Recognize That Scenery https:/2011/01/i-recognize-that-scenery/ Developer resources for the X-Plane flight simulator Tue, 01 Feb 2011 19:01:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: Benjamin Supnik https:/2011/01/i-recognize-that-scenery/#comment-69 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 11:52:38 +0000 http://www.x-plane.com/dev_blog/?p=15#comment-69 I think the issue isn't performance, it's design assumptions…for example, how much code is in the sim that assumes that the airport index is immutable?

If the time stamps haven't changed, X-Plane could just read in the cache file and be done.

A more radical approach would be optionally loading scenery asynchronously at start-up as well, and showing a mostly blank (white/gray) world initially… 😉

Many of us have several GB of addons. It's just not feasible to start XP with them all in the Custom Scenery folder. Yet often we want to fly elsewhere on a whim. Forcing a restart to accommodate the addition of new custom scenery has always been a pain.

Cheers.

Our next-gen city tech is not related to this.

will xplane10 use something like this since austin said that the cities wont use texture
will it be efficient and faster than now?
