in ref. to the Ferris Wheel , the same here opposite rotation.

Thanks for confirming this.

I had a look at this again and it seems the wheel is suffering from the 3rd suggestion you mention - the <tilt> orientation is reversed in 4.0.2693.

Easily fixed by making the <tilt> angle values positive (from negative), but as you say, doing so breaks the animation for previous GE4 versions.

I've re-opened your model several times and still not come across the 'blinking' issue you mentioned. I'll drop you a line if I manage to reproduce it.

Interestingly, after rebooting, then opening up the SS Fitzgerald again, the new version of GE appears to very quickly pull the whole thing from cache without having to maximize the timeline.

Clutching at straws here. but I wonder if it's possible the part of your cache storing the textures/models gets corrupted when you close/restart GE ?

Agree with what you say about models running smoother in this version. Texture handling in particular seems greatly improved.
