Also, it seems like some of the issue has to do with getting all elevation data for the planet in memory. For example, if I add a mapplugin to load a small piece of elevation data on the earth, when I first startup, the earth can do very weird things in imagery and shading. Until I fly around the entire earth and get all of the imagery loaded up into memory, it acts funny. Then, things seem to pop into place. This was happening when the mapplugin was removed and I was running only on cached data.
