Possible performance suggestion

[xender]

Hi guys!

I was exploring the external model while the plane was on midair and when i entered the cockpit (in the external model) i saw something rather shocking: On the external model, the VC is FULLY working too! i saw the flight plan on the displays, i was able to click the switches, use the FMC etc etc. all of that from the external model!

That made me think: What is the cost of that in terms of performance? Don't get me wrong: It looks great!, but Isn't it wasteful to include a fully functioning VC on the external model specially taking into account that the plane is on the heavy side already? Is it possible to disable it or maybe include a checkbox on the config app?

I've just spent my entire Easter Sunday working on creating a low-resolution VC...

Wait... Get your hands away from that mouse/keyboard!!! I love the VC and its resolution. Im just wondering about the cockpit in the external model. I just think it may not be a good idea (From a performance point of view) to have a fully functioning cockpit on the external model. BUT the real cockpit, the one implemented in the internal model is glorious. Don't touch that

I guess I wasn't clear enough; the low-res VC is for the external model!

Ahh i see. That's great!

What do you think about the fully functioning VC on the external model? Do you think it may have some performance impact? I was thinking that maybe on the external model there should only be the cabin but with the cockpit door closed. That way you can have a dummy, low res vc on the external model without impacting the looks of the passenger cabin.

Btw, there's another small bug on the passenger cabin: While the tables are getting out and unfolding, you can see the scenery in the gap where the table comes from. I can get an screenshot if you need. It mainly affects the tables that farthest from the cockpit, the ones at the back of the plane.

That's a new feature: fresh air for the passengers!
Seriously, I'm not too bothered about it, but have made a note in case further problems crop up.
