For macro textures?

I think the norm is 256x256 pixel BMP's in 8 bit colour format. Then if needed changed into DXT for faster loading. I use 512x512 so I can fit more on each texture, I don't know whether what effect that has on performance though.

I probably do it all wrong... Roll Eyes

I find that, for FSDS, 256 colour bitmaps are best.

Those are always the best airports to do - things can only get better!
