g to minimize how bad this is by using low-resolution models is not so much solving the problem as working within it; and the best solution would be to get plib to be able to only load the model once and to reference it for additional aircraft. But maybe that's really, really hard?

The complicated airports are much easier to handle with more current, higher-resolution imaging; and since the complicated airports tend to be in/near big cities, those are just the ones for which the better images will likely be available.
