+1 And that's exactly what Jomo and I have been telling Trennor on the forums. I really don't see what's so difficult about removing a line from an .stg file. It's all documented on the wiki, one just has to make an effort and read it. Especially if you're getting a free lunch off of others hard work. That said, I second that heavy scenery should take advantage of FG's LOD system. I do understand that it's annoying if FG lags and you get unflyable frame rates. But it's impossible to come up with a single balance between detail and smoothness that fits all users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
