But high res liveries already there, so the choice is between using more
memory or having low fps. I think the choice should be obvious: if you do
have spare memory, not using it doesn't make you any good.
Quite recently there was a discussion about 2048x2048 textures for scenery,
and I'm sure they are mipmapped, otherwise it won't fly. A typical plane
fits all of its exterior into at most a dozen hi-res textures, so the added
cost of mipmapping those is negligible I think.
