Curt, How about leaving the ascii format as it is 'without further support', so that we could continue using it. If its possible to leave it in a working condition without breaking that would be wonderful. Afterall the ascii format's similarity with Wavefront .obj format makes it quite useful for people like me to modify scenery without TerraGear. I just havent started using TerraGear and hope I would not be forced to do so. Regards Ranga

None of the scenery on the ftp server is in the old ascii format. It consumes more space to represent the same geometry, file loading is slower, it hasn't been updated to support newer features of flightgear (nor do I want to do this.) The code to support this format is messy, and continuing to support it is messy, and we could clean up a lot of this by just dropping support for the ascii format Is anyone still using this ancient file format? Does anyone have any objections to ending support in flightgear for it?
