Hi Dave,

Yuan and I chatted about this this morning and we have some suggestions.

First, this is a memory and CPU intensive data set. We suggest you subset the 
data first via the data source properties (Field Selector tab, right click on 
the satellite data source, select "Properties"). There you can spatially subset 
the data before rendering.

Secondly, make sure the field you are rendering is the "Color Shaded Plan View".

Let us know how it goes.

-Julien
