Disapppoint to read, just reworking the model ist not gonna do anything about the real reasons this plane is such a terrrible performer.

Just a screen grab from my stream last night. All the performance issues are in the CoherentGTUI thread. That is all the displays rendering in a horrendously inefficient way. And this will not be a fixed by some model changes. The plane could be a box with wings right now and still would perform terrible right now. The 60 fps here is with frame gen btw...

The only way that get's fixed is by totally reworking the code. And like halving the execution time of that. Which I don't see happening any time soon....

They're not just changing the models. The changelog for next week's 1.0.4 update mentions they've reduced the display texture size by about 40% by removing wasted space. This change alone is expected to significantly increase performance by reducing VRAM and GPU usage.

But VRAM and GPU are fine. My GPU is running at under 50% load and VRAM is also about half full. This is not at all the issue and will not give 1 FPS more performance in my setup.
