You don't want that, fine. And *I* don't want a parallel structure of aircraft with megabytes of duplicated files. So, please let's discuss that first, before anyone dumps more of that stuff into $FG_ROOT/AI/! Do we really want MP support for all aircraft in the base package, at a cost of an extra 200 MB of data? Wrappers are fine (like Vivian described), but do we want a complete concorde.ac with all textures *again* in the AI/ dir? If someone wants the Concorde displayed, then s/he can install it, no? I'd prefer fgfs to show better information about which aircraft couldn't be shown because they aren't installed, and a better LOD concept (LOD in the aircraft dir, where it belongs). And if we really want the independence, then we should make sure that this is cheap. Textures should be scaled down a *lot*, the model should be drastically poly-reduced, the whole aircraft shouldn't take more than 250 kB (or something). And we don't need MP-versions of Ogel, wrightfligher and others. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
