Well that's exactly what I was proposing you to test, split the big texture into 9 smaller ones, thus making 1texture/model. If the graphic engine is somehow being "stupid" and forgets that it has already loaded that texture we should see a dramatic improvement in performance and loading time. (instead of loading one big texture thousand of times, we're loading smaller bits of it). If the performance stays the same, that means the problem lies elsewhere in the model placement pipeline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
