afaik SOAR doesnt create “higher” resoultion meshes. it just creates them on the fly with the highest resolution under your feed and lowest in the far distance…viewport depending.
well SOAR is a very nice thing but it’s not that optimized for today’s hardware.
and it does it really fit into “panda’s way” of handling object… hm… and it doesnt really work nicly together with my way of texturing 
but it’s very nice for flightsims.
btw enn0x:did you already try colission with the SOARX stuff?
