We are having teething problems with the model but I'm confident they will be sorted so fear not. Here are the pics - dont worry the textures are far in advance than what are shown here - this is one of the problems but nothing for you to worry about. On the plus side although i have a monster machine (athlon 1800+, gf3 ti200, 512 Mb ddr) the station never dropped below 40fps which is much better than i had expected with optimisations to the code likely to come over the next 1 or 2 things are looking up for a station than doesnt compromise performance too much, well as long as youv e a decent system....

FSAA in FS1/2 has a tendancy to make the game look *really* nice, but the text look like crap...which makes it look a little funny in screenshots.

I have to say, I would like to get the B5 model, put 4X FSAA on and see how much it hammers my Athlon T-bird...

Looking good, just wait until you put some weapons on B5 and try to destroy it with a single Starfury then!
