Hi. I am doing "Vostok-1" project for Flight Gear open source flight simulator and have a lot of problems due to current terrain engine what can not supply high altitude/speed flights.On normal 25km visibility it not shows anything but blue fog because normal altitude for orbital flight is >100km, but it still loads something and produces great lags.If visibility is high enough, say 500km, it makes more or less cool picturesbut does it one time in minutes.I suppose what including some other terrain engine, say osgEarth http://osgearth.org/ and switching on it from some speed/altitude could solve all that problems. But me myself do not competent enough to implement it and I had not find needed interest from FG community.I could do something in that case still but need a lot of help. It would be better if someone else would do it because I have a lot of problems to solve in "Vostok" and have a plans for next projects already.Can You help me?Other option to include "Vostok" in other open source space simulator, I do not want to use Orbiter or other closed source software in that means. Maybe You can name that simulator then?"Vostok-1" Flight Gear forum topic [url]http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11687[/url] terrain engine Flight Gear forum topic [url]http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12005[/url]
