Be interesting if we could page in individual levels of detail of
terrain. Example: If the terrain is represnted with three lods, and we
page it in because the ownship is sufficiently close to that tile.
When that terrain first comes into view, only the lowest lod is
visible. If the ownship continues, then the higher lods will be
blended in. But what if the ownship does a hard right when it's far
enough away that only the lowest lod could have possibly been visible?
All that bandwidth would have ben wasted on the higher lods which
would now have to be discarded.
Any thoughts about the ability of paging in individual terrain lods
when appropriate? I apologize for the ignorance if this is already
included in performer and I'm simply clueless.
