Hi All, A number of people on the forums have mentioned performance issues on lower-spec system on MP, particularly due to loading complex models for other aircraft causing stuttering.
In an effort to help with this I've been looking at two fixes: 1) A control to disable sub-model loading for AI aircraft. This effectively stops the model loader from recursing into <model> tags, and therefore stops it from loading any sub-models such as cockpits, instruments, pilots etc. Note that this is generally better than having a LOD node on the cockpit, because it doesn't even get as far as loading the file, nor does the cockpit take up any space in the scenegraph 2) A control to set the LOD for AI aircraft. Currently this is hardcoded to 50nm, which is probably too far for most purposes. I've got basic patches that allow these controls to be set by properties at runtime, but which I think requires a bit more work before submission.
