A LOT of static aircraft for screenshot. Doable?

I am currently working on a D-Day Anniversary Narrated Bushflight. For the Thumbnail and starting screen it would have been nice if I could show the scale of the operation that the “tour” is about. But that would mean putting in about 80 static aircraft to the starting custom made airfield. How would MSFS cope with this if it is just for a dronecam screengrab? Will it bring the sim to a crawl or even crash it, or does it scale well? I don’t want to shove a bunch of planes in there and break the project…

If it’s just for a static screenshot, just on your PC, it would depend on your system I suppose. Worst that can happen is it bombs out but I’d think it would work at least to load up and be able to move the camera even if it’s running at 2fps!

The engine is pretty good with handling lots of polygons though. Just try it and see!

If not, Photoshop it with layers and layers more added on top lol

There’s probably that many or more in the aircraft graveyard in the US, and it’s fine. They are quite low polygon tho.
