[Zorin]

Zorin, you sound like a man "in the know". Would you say that it is the number of textures that is the main problem?

Let the numbers convince you:

3d mesh of hangar: 11,8 kb

Texture of hangar: 256 kb

Plus, for the different LODS, which are already part of the 3d mesh file, the game constantly switches between THREE skin files varying from 256kb - 16,7kb.

Now multiply this with the amount of fences you see in lowflyers picture.
