While I don't see a direct improvement in framerate I notice a real effect on the screen update. The old behaviour had a small bump in the update every second or so, while the new code elliminates that. This makes me vote for including the patch. Erik BTW. This is probably only noticable on slower machines with a "slow" OpenGL implementation like the O2 I work on. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
