More digging reveals the loaded geostate has lighting set to ON regardless of
polygon lighting settings. I think this could be a BUG (or at least omission)
in the FLT loader. My lack of feedback would suggest this too.

For now I can think of workarounds to reset the state after loading but they
are all application specific :-(

Hi Performers,

This one has been bugging me for a while. Whatever I do with loader flags, I
can't get a .flt model with polygons set to be unlit, just gouraud, shaded to
load into Performer as unlit geometry. The best I can get is without normals
but Performer still insists on lighting it. For example, grid lines in a
model.

Seems like some of the flags (via pfdConverterMode_flt or pfdBldrMode) are
not being used correctly or I haven't found the right combination.

Anyone got this to work?
Regards, Simon
