Some of the 2d Cirrus and Cirrocumulus models used by Advanced Weather also still refer to dds textures created by Vivian - these would also trigger warnings. I left them in since for me it's the same, some people reported better performance and I wasn't sure what the policy on dds textures now is. In case we want to remove those, the corresponding *.ac files have to be changed. Is there an opinion on that question either way? In any case, I would suppress the warnings for the release, as they seem to lead to a lot of confusion (see forum) and many people seem to attribute the dds warnings to any problems they're experiencing. Ultimately, I would perhaps prefer a solution where dds is only used when the user expresses an intention to do so, i.e. 3). * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
