I have a 16 meg PCI TNT card in the demo box I put together. When at cruise the framerate is fine, but when lining up an approach it's anything but smooth. The same box does fine with a 32 meg GeForce MX AGP. Could this be why? TTYL J ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Texture management is not one of my specialities (such as they are), but I know that the textures are starting to clobber us, especially with the 2D panel.
