Hmm, regarding dds.
I have to say, that not all OpenGL drivers support texture compression, and 
the models with dds files, are those that I cannot display, because of that.
And in fact this will not happen to the open source drivers before something 
about 2020 because of patent issues.

Sorry to step in this so late - probably way too late - but is there a reason 
that the on disk format must be compressed?
The previous strategy to have on disk an format that everybody can read and to 
make the driver compress them as needed/possible is better I think?

So, for me the f16 lost its livery lately - where I can live with this for the 
f16, I hope that this does not happen to flightgear as a whole ...

Thanks
Mathias
