I didn't removed them, but converted them to dds with a bash script: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Fr/convertir_un_avion_en_dds About FG and dds texture, could it be possible to propose a dds version of our planes in an official manner, or do i need to make a paralel hangar, with hidden advertisings? I'm fine with fgdata having png/rgb textures, as they are lossless and easy to work on, and a non dds version is still needed for who don't want to use dds (for patent issues, or other reasons). If you want to try a dds version, to make an opinion, i've converted some here: http://janodesbois.free.fr/flightgear/dds_planes_2.12/ you will need the Generic folder, and you can add the Instrument and Instrument-3d, to have full dds planes. my concern is not to force dds use, but to allow a better mp experience (try to change livery for example, in external view). jano ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
