Yeah, as I tried to imply, I don't think it's the build. If we're making decisions on which textures to use by asking the GL what size it supports, I should point out that many versions state a size that is twice as big as the hardware supports. In that case, the driver makes four passes through the relevant triangles to pick up all four quadrants of the big textures, leading to a massive hit on framerate. Can we have a command line / preferences option to specify whether to use the hires textures as-is or to forcibly ignore the directory? On several of my (linux) machines, I've got a patch in there for that. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
