Traffic Tools query - Sector Bands

[Guest]

When using Traffic Tools, I find that the compiler runs slowly when it
reaches the "Sorting sector bands" part

I am curious to know what sector bands are - any takers?

Hi,

When you are flying around, only the AI traffic in your current "sector"
is displayed - the rest of the world is ignored. This keeps frame rates
up.

When TTools is sorting sector bands, it is creating a large table of
which sector each AI aircraft should be in at a given moment. That way
FS just looks up the current time and location in the table, and
displays those AI aircraft.

Hope this helps,
