So, I did another test here. Enabled HTTP --httpd=5050. Created a short shell script function to take screenshots takeshot() { curl http://localhost:5050/screenshot?type=png > "FlightGear Screenshot $(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).png"; }. And then after started FlightGear, I made it take a screenshot every 5 seconds. while true; do takeshot; sleep 5; done. No lag in the sim at all, granted I was saving to a Ram disk, but there was no CPU/GPU penality. FG was running at constant 60 FPS 22ms/frame. Interestingly,...

[Request] Add some metadata to saved jpg screenshots.
[Request] Use Screenshot function from Phi instead of SimGear.
Actually, using Nasal one could simply parse geo data from the property list and add strings as lines to the png/jpg file after it was saved. Trivial and oversimplified example. s/word1/word2/ file, or echo "string" >> file.
I was further investigating this... For LIPA in specific. On the file Objects/e010n40/e012n46/3154434.stg, line 308, In OBJECT_SHARED Models/Airport/BAK12.xml 12.5868115 46.0251522 100.28 311.5 I reduced the vertical position from 100.28 to 100.00, and this seems to have fixed the issue entirely, for this wire in particular at least. And it looks much better.
