That is exactly what i wonder, with the increase of aircraft animations, there is , and will be, more and more, accurate animations, => for instance highly detailed gears with compression animation, struts, actuators, connecting-rods, ......... (i have a model not yet in CVS which has such costly animations), within MP , which such animations we are going to a huge cpu consumption with significant loss of FPS, i have with my computer that problem, which is still acceptable. Could it be possible , to limit the MP animation only to <property> surface position <property/>, the model creators will take care of i. When making the animations, he could decide if one specification is valuable for the pilot only or valuable for both the pilot and the MP visual observer.
