Everything seems to work great in regards to FlightGear. I have it If you use 1km DEM files it's no problem but I use 100 meters DEM and size of one tile is 200kb Also I found that you should use unzipped btg files So using SMP improuves delays connected with unzipping tiles and loading Also what video are you use and version of drivers > Good luck. > > Wm > > -- > William L.
