Hi Adrian,

Thanks for this info regarding scenery environments. What would you call a comfortable range of individual draw calls for an aircraft?

It depends on how many you expect to view in the scene at any given time. If there's only one in the scene, you could have 30 or 40 draw calls for an aircraft. Ideally, you should be able to reduce the materials / draw calls down to just a few. If you've got 3 or 4 textures, you should be able to get it down to under 10 draw calls for an aircraft.
