I wonder what's so difficult in writing 'Yes, we'd like you to dig up the list!' - after all, I offered to do so, just everyone seems to be talking around the issue :-) Most cloud textures with *.dds and most textures which do not contain *sheet* could go - the problem is that there are few exceptions to the rule, and I want to be sure not to remove something that is still needed under more exotic weather conditions. I'm actually not sure if we still use any of the dds cloud textures or not for the static cloud models. 5) is rather different from 4) - the weather dds textures are the same textures just converted to dds, but the scenery texture set are actually different textures which happen to have the same name (because they're supposed to represent the same landclass). So 5) is equal to the previous discussion of shipping dds terrain textures separately. In somewhat other matters, we (myself certainy included) have been somewhat sloppy in populating Textures vs. Textures.high - so we have currently some textures which are unique in the Textures.high/ folder and have no lower resolution counterpart in the Textures/ folder. Admittedly, given the capabilities of today's GPUs, I didn't think that using 256x256 vs. 512x512 textures is much of an issue, and I tend to consider 1024x1024 standard and regard the distinction between different resolution levels as a bit of a legacy feature - some of our aircraft use 4096x4096 sheets after all. The bottomline is - simply optionally removing Textures.high will not work. * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
