Earthview is an orbital rendering engine for FlightGear designed to get credible visuals when using spacecraft such as [[Vostok-1]]. It is based on projecting a simple textured sphere representing Earth into the scene using ray optics. Since there is only a single object in the field of view, performance is generally very good provided that there is enough texture memory available. | Earthview is an orbital rendering engine for FlightGear designed to get credible visuals when using spacecraft such as [[Vostok-1]].
