Long time no see...

Fun fact: OGLAClient with full software rendering (my OpenGL implementation) gets up to 20 FPS at 640x480 with not much going on, and drops to upper single digits with something bigger than a DG in sight.
Transparent stuff (=exhausts) is the heaviest part.

Well, yes but the FPS would abysmal and turn Orbiter into very complicated PowerPoint presentation. I'm talking single-digit FPS.

Not even that. I just tried the latest build on RGB and it just crashes... No worries though, I didn't expect it to work in the first place. I got my old ASUS ROG laptop re-installing Windows now. I feel a moon shot is coming soon.
