This done to help keep frame rates up. Many flight sims have this
popping up issue. Sometimes they have a setting to make it popup out
to a further distance so it is not as noticeable but this slows down
the frame rate. Until we have computers that can handle a complete 3D
world with all objects loaded into memory there is nothing that can be
done about it.
Linux?
