For Gap or anyone who'd like to help test it: I've put a simple single mission on file sharing website:

https://ufile.io/c5i2m7up

Unpack into "Single Missions" folder. It puts British Catalina right above player's boat, if you go to external camera and look up you should see it.

Speaking of LOD models, I was suprised to find that FloatingPlane_LOD.gr2 is actually.... the same model as FloatingPlane.gr2. At least, its number of vertices is the same and I don't see any visual difference either. And its not just this plane - half the GR2 format planes have LOD models with equal or higher number of vertices than the "detailed" model: US Heavy Bomber, Beaufort, Fulmar, Me 109, Arado, FW200, Savoia, C200 fighter...

Ok, I'm not a game designer or 3D modeler but I don't get what is the point of having a LOD model that is more complicated than regular model?
