What I failed to mention was that some, but by no means all, models have a lighter weight version that resides in ~AI/Aircraft. Where it exists, it is this version that should be streamed for MP. Perhaps it ought to be the case for all models, but many aircraft developers never get around to it. Vivian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2d-c2 _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
