Smooth Airport Curves

Posted on 15:40 by Unknown
With X-Plane 920 RC1, the user can now control how smooth taxiway curves look.  More smoothing looks better, but can slow frame-rate.

So authors: please use the minimum number of vertices to create a bezier curve.  If the user wants it to look smooth, he or she can crank the rendering settings.  If the user has the setting on "low" it's probably due to a lack of hardware.

Below are four pictures of KSBD (which has good, sparse vertices) at the four rendering settings.
