I used to have texture space problems with my old Matrox G-550 video card but since fitting a card with more ram, that's not an issue anymore. However, now I think I can see differences due to vertex counts. I don't think there's a clear answer to texture space/vertex count issues, as far as s

In my opinion, having vertex count exceeding 10,000 isn't that bad. What I think really killing framerate are textures. Speaking of vertex count and texture resolution, does FlightGear support multiple level-of-details? (As in loading a model with more and more details as the object is gettin

From the look of it, lowering that many vertices will be a waste of time and effort; not to mention a waste of a good model. I say, whoever is doing the new Concorde should continue with his work. Regards, Ampere On April 30, 2004 01:37 pm, Melchior FRANZ wrote: > * Jim Wilson -- Friday 30 Apr
