Google Earth file needs to be reworked since the number of vehicles has increased
Loading all vehicles at once is probably not the best way. I've had Google Earth crash.
Perhaps, it should just send a list of all vehicles, and load the data per vehicle when selected.
Could be viable, its not often that you do need all the flights, other than when showing "the crowded skies" effect ;-) Mostly rely on using the "vehicles" filter to select those required at a given time. One down side would be that updates would be occurring at frequent intervals which makes saving details a problem as GE locks the files during updates - this DOES cause crashes, requiring a restart of GE with loss of all data prior to the crash, this would be a serious problem.
If the volume of data is reduced, would it be possible to consider adding "Placemark" information which could contain additional data for each point reported, i.e height, temperature, battery etc. if so they should be added as a separate branch within the tree which could be enabled for display as required. This would then enable plotting of measured parameters against geographical position rather than as a simple time line.
