This is being worked on these days, for a different project, lunar-exploration related. Two lab folks are looking into having terrains on that scale, and making sure that it runs decently fast. Perhaps the first results will come in six weeks or so. If you are interested in this, reach out to Bret and Nevindu, who are cc-ed on this email… They work on a branch in a public fork.

Its about 3km squared. I understand that making the terrain too large with high res will seriously impact performance. I'm wondering if I can instead only load a few terrain patches at a time closest to the vehicle? then destroy old terrain as the vehicle exits those tiles and load new ones that the vehicle enters. Will this approach work? I don't need to save deformed terrain from old tiles, the assumption is the "wind" would cover them back up after a while thanks!
