By default, the OpenFlight loader uses bead short id's which are seven
characters, plus a <nil>, to name pfNodes. There's a loader mode to use bead
long id's, PFFLT_USELONGIDS, but the good old loader callback still uses the
short id's. I plan (for Performer 2.2) to revamp the loader's callback to use
long id's and to add discrete callbacks for the different nodes types. Submit
your RFE's now! ;-)

Regards.
