We certainly can't have a dialog with that much volcanoes. Maybe if we render only those that are close it would be fine (the list would display only those near you) . Even if there is a large number of volcanoes in reality I don't think we have nearly as much in FG like how we don't have every building in FG that exists in reality. Even if we did it would probably be expensive. Regards, Mihajlo 15.09.2017. 00.05, <wki...@gm...> је написао/ла: > On 09/14/2017 05:31 PM, Mihajlo Tomić wrote: > >> I guess I misunderstood you then.
