    Multi-LOD Blenheim for CFS2 ?

    Hi all.

    I am in search for a multi-LOD Blenheim Mk.IV (and maybe a Mk.I as well).

    There are two different models available here at SOH, the one made by Thicko and the old IS4G/DAF one.
    Thicko's model is not multi-LOD and therefore the frame-rate drops when it is used as AI.
    IS4G/DAF model is really too old, and looks like a CFS1 aircraft.

    Are there other (multi-LOD) models available elsewhere, with a fair amount of different skins for all theaters of operations ?

    Roxanne,

    Thicko's models are all multi-lod, but even with them, I have the same issue with his Dornier Do-17s. (and the Ilyushin DB-3 and IL-4, for that matter) Still, they are the best (and only real) models available, so you learn MB tricks on how to minimize the frame rate impacts.

    Thicko are multi-LOD but useless as with the Do17 the lowest LOD has more polygons than the full detail stock B-25 G4M2 and P-38 if I'm recalling right.

    I was assuming they were not multi-LOD since the frame rate was terrible.

    I wonder what kind of trick would allow me to use them in missions without making the frame-rate drop? Even a simple mission with only one formation of eight Blenheims is barely playable...

    To date, I replaced them with Beauforts in my MTO missions, though I am not sure they were actually used as level bombers.
