Thanks peeps! Reading your comments encouraged me to finish the demo this morning. There was a spacing bug that was causing overlap between the tiles. Your browser might choke a bit on startup as I've tried to externalize the assets. http://www.videometry.net/away3d/chopper.html
I've added normals to the cockpit canopy, which was the other thing I wanted to try. After ultra quick cleanup I've put the sources up for anyone who's interested. It's a big "one class wonder" I'm afraid and only for CS4, but I'm sure you Flex ninjas can import the assets somehow. There's a psd for anyone with the patience to do the textures :) http://www.videometry.net/away3d/Chopper.zip The fog is totally fake, just a transparent png that moves up and down in relation to the camera. (tried with vector gradient, but gives massive performance hit) As you will see in the code the tiles get moved after a certain distance. I choose to keep the camera static and move the scenery. Cheers!
