General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon: Difference between revisions

**This seems to be due to the liveries textures. Removing the Livery choice and all associated entry in the -set file doesn't change the delay. Then reducing and flatening (remove alpha channel) the main texture f16.rgb from 2048 to 1024 px reduce the delay to 6/7 sec, then flatening the transparent logo texture f16-trans.rgb reduce the delay to 3/sec.

**Solution: switch to PNG textures, remove transparency on logos or even remove logos. Use a different mapping layout with 4 x 1024^2 textures instead of 1 x 2048^2 texture. Optimize surface usage in the textures, flaten textures as much as possible. (see much more complicated and detailled f-14b which doesn't suffer delay)  

* Main U/C is above ground.

* Vibration when accelerating on the runway for takeof.

* pilot's shoulder patch is empty. (remove ?)

* engine turbines do not rotate (is it useful ?)
