2013-09-26 Thread TDO Brandano 
I always thought it was a 737 hulk  used for fire crew training.
I think there's no reason why mipmaps could not be pre-generated for formats 
other than DDS, nothing stops FGFS from defining a texture as a combination of 
a series of images and a snippet of XML code describing the way these are 
arranged as mipmap levels.

Mostly i agree, but it's sort of a piece of FG history now, like Durk's 
roof-parked Fokkers. Which was such a good idea that EHAM copied it in real 
life. No sign of KSFO placing a 737-200 at that location in homage to FG yet,

On that topic, there's a static 737 on the taxi tracks that's there 
since the old days when there was no AI traffic, it is probably a good 
idea to remove it from the scenery now.
