Hi Ampere, I'm sorry if I did't explain carefully enough what I wanted to say. Personally, I haven't had any problems running FlightGear using the MD11, either as the main aircraft, or as an AI traffic object. I've actually seen the LOD mechanism work, so that's not the problem. And finally, I do want to emphasize that the model does look great.
However, there is also the loading time factor. This is getting quite high, and especially when done during the simulation, this can cause some significant pauses. I didn't realize this until last week, when I tried using the 737 model, which appears to load a lot faster. Erik wrote me last week that he had problems loading the model. Hopefully, he can elaborate a bit on the exact problems he encountered. Cheers, Durk On Saturday 17 July 2004 19:31, Ampere K.
