In my opinion, having vertex count exceeding 10,000 isn't that bad. What I think really killing framerate are textures.
Speaking of vertex count and texture resolution, does FlightGear support multiple level-of-details? (As in loading a model with more and more details as the object is getting closer to the camera.)
