Quote:About transparent tiles used in airfields, I found that almost all airfields in the area (except Luqa and maybe Comiso) did not have a definite runway, being just a large flat area used for landing and takeoff. So I decided it was worth to invest in object count by making these areas all usable by aircraft, leaving a generic texture. Each of these airfield would have deserved a dedicated texture, but unfortunately we have just 32 of them
Lol.. yep, can see your reasons for using them
Problem I had was a severe FPS hit when all "blank plated" airfields were in view (say flying back towards Malta) I deleted all blank plates and voila, no FPS hit. The Norway map had this problem (thx VPM) and when the amount was lessened the FPS problem disappeared. Prolly best to just use a double width row and mark the extents with a vehicle or some other object.
Just a suggestion,
Thanx again.
