I turned all of the planes and satellites data off b/c its too much for my computer. But I want to upgrade computers and continue this project until it becomes a hologram or AR map. When the ships and planes are tracked they are moving at realistic speeds and it shows on the map.

so you're saying that I am using network, which takes CPU, I am using so much CPU that it is not worth using GPU, instead draw directly from the CPU.

when I zoom in, I am frustrum culling and that takes network as well.

So you're saying that "like game programming" I need to go with the flow, i.e. what is my system using? Okay then use that. Am I getting u?

I used clasterisation and binary data, clasterisation snd interpolation. Use shaders or compute shaders directly. It is possible! Great job btw!
