Have you possibly done a tutorial for beginners who want to create a low frame rate LOD project in FS9?
I found one from Farfy Scenery - but it was for FSX.
Thank you

Probably nothing that specific. Do you have something in mind that you want help with? You mention LOD, are you talking scenery or aircraft model?
LOD's are possible for both.

I made a open top deuce and a half truck. The polygon count is 4809. I would like to learn the proper way to create a project with a low poly count. I "think" it is to late to reduce it now that it is complete, isn't it. This would be a Scenery model for FS9.

Yep, that needs some lods to use as a scenery object!

You could always send your .fsc file to one of us or even post it here for someone to look at. Usually a quick look and someone will have some pointers on how to save polys.

That's not too big. Do you want my email? Try putting it in a zip file and sending it to me as a personal message.

Here is the message I received in the forum. Guess I am doing something wrong - as usual.
Will try to send to private email. Thank you so much.
