Lightspeed, as was mentioned in that other thread, when DDS gets full SCP support, do you plan on converting these and the rest of the .tga stuff over to the new format? I'm not just asking because of the transparency box bug, but for the performance issues. I had to extract the volition pcx planets into the effects directory so that FS2 wouldn't load up the .tga planets by default. The TGA planets are a real resource hog on my system. Actually, my current problems are with my flight stick... again... but that's got nothing to do with you.
Keep up the good work.
Later!
