#267 Automatic/manual scenery tile reloading after TerraSync update

It seems some time ago we had this feature that allowed the user to reload the tile cache by pressing F2, without having to restart fg. Why isn't it working anymore? It would be nice to have it back again, because if terrasync has just fetched terrain from a area you were flying over, but you didn't have this terrain earlier, so ocean is displayed instead. Pressing F2 could allow you to load the terrain for that area without restarting fg.

A button to reload the scenery is a workaround. An automatic update has also been discussed, which requires a change to the TerraSync connection. Currently the terrasync connection is one-way. There is no feedback from TerraSync to FlightGear when and which scenery areas were updated. This is a missing feature. Another issue is the ability to drop and reload scenery tiles while these are already loaded and visible. Both features should be added.
Merging this with issue 225 - which requested the automatic scenery tile reload.

A manual option to reload the entire scenery is available (again?) now.
Requires complete update (SG/FG/FGDATA):

Reload option may have been available earlier - and was probably broken/removed to avoid a complete scenery reload on "normal" sim resets (Shift-ESC). This is now avoided differently...
An automatic reload of specific tiles (after a TerraSync update) is still missing though.

Manual reload is implemented. Automatic update is also available now - though there some specific issues which need improvement. Closing the tracker issue, since the feature request is implemented.
Status: Fixed
