Medium-detail graphic models for users with typical LINUX desktop computers

This is our standard set of 3d models, optimized for use on the vast majority of LINUX desktops. These are balanced for the optimal mix of display quality and rendering speed, performing so well that even Raspberry Pi users ought to use this set as their starting-point. After installing this set of 3d models, those with powerful gaming-class computers might consider replacing one or more of those that are also available in our "More Details" archive with the corresponding files in order to get a few even better-looking aircraft. On the other hand, Raspberry Pi users (and others with marginal computing power) might consider replacing one or more of those that are also available in our "Simplified" archive with the corresponding files in order to improve frame rate, especially if they wish to fly in a mission environment that displays several of the corresponding aircraft.

This standard set of 3d models was overhauled in late January of 2021, after LAC versions 8.40 and 8.41 were published. Accordingly, anybody using those versions of LAC (or any earlier version) will benefit by replacing all of their .3ds files with this set.

For all of the download links below, replace the corresponding file within LAC's ~home/LAC/models subdirectory (or, if you are using the "global" installation option and have "root" privileges, within the new /usr/share/lac/models subdirectory) with the download.
