Depends on the model. I have made a low-poly/low-res texture version of the 109 (look at CVS file Aircraft/bf109/Models/bf109g-ai.xml - and yes it is mostly your animation ;-) ). I removed all interiour objects and reduced some high-poly objects (wheels) using the Blender mesh decimator. Finally I exchanged all textures with scaled down ones. One thing I learned is to have the texture in one image rather than in many. That is (little) more work creating the texture map, but exchanging textures for AI use and multiple liveries is less work. I think creating low-poly versions for multiplayer, ai and static display makes sense, so I will create them for my aircraft. (once I have the Mosquito ready).

My intention is to start making my planes with pretty aggressive LOD. This will help frame rates, but not memory usage. I can also start exporting the low LOD versions separately as static models. I have no idea when I will get around to this, but I do intend to do it. Josh - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

It doesn't take zoom into account, so parts that should have been visible are turned off when one zooms from a kilometer away. Ampere - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

It doesn't take zoom into account, so parts that should have been visible are turned off when one zooms from a kilometer away. I totally agree with that but I guess that's the easiest technique to get control on rendering details from a coder's point of view. Roberto - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
