I ran into a situation where a close-in dogfight with two P-51D's would cause an immediate frame rate reduction to 4 fps whenever the aircraft were in my view and within d1000. The instant the P-51's left the view, frame rates jumped back to 40-50 fps (my average rate). When one P-51 was shot and lost its tail control surfaces, it fell down in front of me. In the 1/4 second frame, I was able to see the none of the plane art was rendered - it was just a white P-51 shape. I tried to observe the second P-51 and noticed a completely white airplane was well. I was flying an FW-190A8 at the time.
p.s. This flight was the second attempt to fly the -190A8: the first flight was aborted when the gunsight failed to render and left a large white square in its place.
