Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the starshells/flares part of FX_Update? Are they now in IRAI?

I had to deactivate both flares & starshells on my old rig, as they always caused massive stutter just prior to launch. That said they really do look great, and its certainly authentic - but the performance is the biggest issue, and I've seen a fair few subsimmers posting about deactivating them for that reason.

I've since upgraded GPUs, so if they are in the new IRAI I'll give them a look to see if performance is better on the new card - but it's the performance, not the visuals on the flares that concern most users I think. Only sunk one merchant so far, but will report back when I encounter them
