Hi all
I just noticed today that the textures folder in scenery growed from 50
MB to ~200 MB. But I don’t see that many new textures ? I read once here
that the benefit from getting DDS is also we get smaller file sizes for
the textures. But now I see textures like crop (and cropA) DDS files

This applies to every texture file which use compression

Hi Heiko
What I am thinking about at the moment is: Where are the GPL origins of
the new textures ? In the textures folder too ? And btw. there have been

Ouch!!

If your using dxt compression, which is why most people use dds, then
it is NOT equal to the original image. Amount o
O.k., regarding .png I was wrong, I just see that .png is lossless.

Hello,
>Ouch ?
This was regarding about your statement about the 4-5replacements/additionals
and maybe I'm wrong, but I think I can read something between your lines.
You are not happy with the conversion to .dds-files, right, though you didn't
spoke out yet ?
With .dds editing and reediting
One could argue that things like dds do not belong in the 'source'
data distribution at all, but be generated automatically by some tool
when building the 'release' data. For example content devs only work
with, and check in/out source imagery, and then run the tool to
generate the final dds imager

This topic raises a point about distribution of non-critical files.
For example, my 1049H Constellation has a number of large files that
aren't necessary for flying the plane. I have source PSDs for
livery-makers, and Yakko's terrific How-to for flying the 1049H. Both
are directly beneficial to int

There is a texture compression extension t

I hope that all you guys involved in the dds transition use
"nvidia-texture-tools" because:
1. It is Free/OpenSource and platform independent
2. The compression quality is much higher than with the dds-plugin for GIMP
Also keep in mind that maybe there are users out there who use OpenSource
