This is a OpenFlight V15.1+ material record.

The loader encountered a face that was instanced (probably a BSP face), which
the loaders do not support.

The attributes of the texture that the polygon (face) is referencing does not
include detail mag. filters. The face has a detail texture index that implies
this requirement. Either remove the face's detail texture index or change the
mag. filter on the base texture.

Actually, MultiGen EaS exports to OpenFlight V15.1 not V15.2. Even so, these
files cannot be loaded by the R14.2 loaders.

It may be easier to download the R15.2d loader from our web page.
