[Papervision3D] Best way to create a ground

[Volker F.]

Project -> Properties -> Flex Library Compiler -> Additional Compiler
Arguments

-define=CONFIG::flash10,true

I use this patch too. Thank you very much to Alan for his work.

Will there be a increase in texture perfomance with PapervisionX? I think
not.
