That is indeed what I'm proposing :) I should have been clearer in my original post - by having a "control" I meant adding an entry in the property tree to toggle whether submodels are loaded or not. Similarly I am proposing setting the AI LOD distance from a property as well. You can then set the property from the command-line, FGRun, or in-sim (though it would only affect models loaded from that point). -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
