Does anyone have any idea of the other possible ramifications of this texture-mapped skysphere idea?

It looks like you're in a sphere. You need to touch it up, but it's a great start ;)

I'll download the DirectX9 SDK, it's got a converter program that will change BMP to DDS. I'll post the program once I have finished downloading :) Or if someone else out there already has it......?

DDS stands for Direct Draw Surface, so I would admit, I'd be very very surprised if DirectX couldn't use it.

its more of a lack of impelmentation of it in the d3d engine rather than unsupported.  its a messy hack and i want to redo the way it works anyhow

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,

SERIOUSLY...! | {The Sandvich Bar} - Rhino-FS2 Tutorial | CapShip Turret Upgrade | The Complete FS2 Ship List | System Background Package

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

The main thing is that stars realistically will always be pinpoints of light - single pixels of light. The thing that makes some brighter and some dimmer is that some will not be 100% white (dim stars), and others will have variously-sized glows around them (brighter stars).
