P3D filesize is too big

[5133p39 16]

I needed to "make" models of some vehicle parts which i need in my new mission to be lying around.

I must admit i didn't made the models, i just cut what i needed (a wheel, airscrew, etc.) from the original BIS vehicles.

What bothers me is that the filesize of the p3d file is too big for what it contains.

For example, one of them contains only the following LODs:

0.000 (28 vertices, 20 faces)

Fire Geometry (empty)

Geometry (8 vertices, 6 faces)

but the filesize is 128Kb which is tooooo big for such a silly small model.

And i have about 15 models like this and it makes the addon too big for no reason.

I have checked every model for anything i could miss, for any leftovers anyvhere, but there aren't any.

It contains only those few vertices and faces in 0.000 and geo lod.

Why is the file so big then???

i presume ur talking about the p3d file, not the final pbo.

honestly i dont know what makes a p3d file size (if it is vertices,edges,faces or the sum of them) , but 128Kb isnt that small indeed.

so if ur using the same textures size then bis model, that is probably the reason. try to reduce them to smaller size and it maybe solves it.

thanks for the reply. Yes, i am talking about p3d files.

Textures aren't part of the p3d file, so their size shouldn't matter.

Try this: Create a new P3d, and copy and paste everything into it.

There is a similar error with TurkMods Franziska; the P3D is massive, although it hasn't as much vertices/faces as other high detail addons; the Franziska had animations defined, and thorugh simple copy and paste into a fresh model, it can be solved.

Thanks, it helped. Now the models are about 20KB each
