Which in short, is more performance-intensive and less flexible than what modern mapping standards offer today. We're going from a system that used to be dominantly pre-computed and prefers vector data.... to one that prefers raster data and can be a bit more dynamic at runtime. Will this new scenery system be compatible with all the airports made and that are available in the Scenery Gateway? Alexander Colka

I think you can answer the latest part yourself when you consider how much of a waste throwing away the entire Gateway data would be. 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days

I know what you mean but it was sort of a colloquial question, we know that the airports are being including in the XP updates regularly but Scenery Gateway is the original source. Alexander Colka

No need to clarify if you’re under NDA … I’m sure it’ll be a good step forward and looking forward to whatever we get. https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/gis/data/raster-vector The only problem with this explanation is that it's sort of the reverse when it comes to simulators or games. GPUs like raster data. Its nice a simple data. 🙂 Edited March 30Mar 30 by DeltaWho Community Management for Laminar Research
