+== Fallback model guidelines ==
+Ideally fallback models should meet the following guidelines.
+* a single .ac model which is less that 3mb
+* a single texture file recommended 1024x2014 (ideally jpg, for size); less than 1mb, but ideally 300kb. resolution isn't as important as size.
+* no transparent textures; and a minimum of transparent elements.
+* animations (gear, control surfaces, flaps, canopy etc) are optional but good to have.
+The guidelines are to ensure the fast loading of the fallback model. Generally I'd try to keep the total size less than 3mb; but ideally less than 2mb. Using 300kb for a jpeg texture is fine - but 2048x2048 is also acceptable - providing that the file size isn't too large (again jpg is good here).
+== How to create fallback models ==
+Remove as much geometry as possible and then use the various simplify geometry options usually on a per mesh basis - again using your judgement to get something that still looks reasonable.
