I think we have two slightly differing concepts of what the MP/AI aircraft are all about. In my view, they are a nice way of providing (at minimal effort to modellers) versions of each aircraft which are visually complete from external views while being very significantly quicker to load than their full counterparts (the vast majority of textures, animations and polys are generally found in the cockpits of most of our more complete models.) The other view (as I understand it) is that they should be a kind of "lower quality" (visually) aircraft model package for MP use, which also removes the need for people to download every aircraft type they want to see flying around. I personally don't think that's a good way to go by default. I'd rather see no other aircraft at all than see low-res, low poly, low animation models at airports (and elsewhere.) I don't, however, see any harm in someone providing an optional "MP aircraft pack" download that provides what Stuart would like to achieve, for those who want it...
