complains from an old machine

is it possible that someone make for me and others who have an old crappy machine a very low detailed lightcycle model? like just a parallelepiped? lol
not joking really.

There is already one floating around on the forum. Something like 8 polygons. But it doesnt help! So little time is spent drawing the cycle, and so much handling and drawing the walls.

i posted it just after i tried edd detailed lightcycle. my fps drop from 80 to 9. so i thought it could be good fo me to have a less detailed possible model. i have no texture on, so i don't mind. it is just for the model of the lightcycle.

I'm curious, could you report the difference in fps between the default cycle and the first one on this list?

in bugfarm sumo with 10 players:

normal around 30 fps

8 poly around 50 fps

also that model seems to make the game a way more stable, but this is a human impression.

it is exaclty what i was looking for.

really thanks,

kisses

EDIT: well, it IS more stable. it is all so smooth, i love it!
