I have made a low-poly/low-res texture version of the 109 (look at CVS file Aircraft/bf109/Models/bf109g-ai.xml - and yes it is mostly your animation ;-) ).
I removed all interiour objects and reduced some high-poly objects (wheels) using the Blender mesh decimator. Finally I exchanged all textures with scaled down ones. One thing I learned is to have the texture in one image rather than in many. That is (little) more work creating the texture map, but exchanging textures for AI use and multiple liveries is less work. I think creating low-poly versions for multiplayer, ai and static display makes sense, so I will create them for my aircraft. (once I have the Mosquito ready).
