Graphics Rewrite and navigation?

I would also expect that we'd get a performance boost from replacing what could be a fairly significant proportion of the current tree coverage with hedgerows. Compared to most photos I've seen the current tree density seems excessive anyway.

Unfortunately I don't think anything is going to happen on this front. Most people aren't that interested and the devs have bigger tasks to tackle.

I hope it may be possible in future with release of SDK to maybe have some community tweaking of the map, but I recall Oleg/Luthier saying that they would keep the main map locked but allow people to mod the smaller maps or create their own small maps.
