The OpenFlight loader, currently release R14.1f, has a LoadFltMode()
that can tell the loader what pfLayerMode() to use when creating
sub faced geometry. The loader defaults to:

pfLayerMode( layer, PFDECAL_BASE_FAST );

which does not work well as databases get larger. Changing to
PFDECAL_BAST_HIGH_QUALITY helps alot. Try calling
LoadFltMode( PFFLT_LAYERMODE, 1) to enable this, before LoadFile()
or LoadFlt().

Or on perfly's command line, use: "perfly -O9 ..." to turn on high quality.
