DrumBum:

I agree about planes flying easier when using photofield scenes. The incredible frame-rates just make responses "instant", whereas using complex 3D scenes slow-down the frame-rate enough that response time is slowed as well. The huge frame-rate increase just "feels" like butter on the sticks; smooth, instantaneous, and flowing. Also, there's a lot less "crap" you have to watch-out for in the photofields. I've used several high-perf 3D aeros, switching back and forth between photofield and 3D scenery in G3, and the physics "feel" the same with both, just smoother with photofields.

I'd like to know if there are different .plng3 files used for photofields and 3D fields. I'm guessing not, but then again, I'm just guessing... ;-}
