Interesting.I just did my own quick test ... converted 1 out of 3
livery (png) files to a dds with Gimp plugin .Had to flip the image
vertically before converting. I changed liveries with the dialog , and
the 2 png files took several seconds to change , the dds changed
instantly.I saw no difference in quality , but the load time was
impressive.The original png file is 158.6 KB , the dds is 16.8 MB.This
should swell  fgdata significantly , unless Tim does (hopefully) does
the /Aircraft split...
Cheers
