Sorry, but I don't know if it makes sense to write this article on an evolving topic. I think it is more useful to post it in the forum, so that others can evaluate and comment. Obviously X-Plane made an investment in 2018 with Vulcan, my friends who use X-Plane (Vulkan) with MAC gave enthusiastic opinions, pointing out the greater fluidity and better rendering. Certainly Vulkan works best with high-performance GPUs with a lot of RAM. --Abassign (talk) 09:31, 30 June 2020 (EDT)

It makes sense. The Vulkan Scene Graph project is apparently usable as is. I'm wondering if a Vulkan Scene Graph Demonstration Project using materials from Flightgear would be in order. Certainly it's time to do some reading on Vulkan Scene Graph.

I'm currently reading:
