Are the 512 kb textures worth the download?

HI, It's up to you, 512x512 will have near 25% better quality and loose performance compare to 256x256, since 512x512 are default performance similar to fs2004 default clouds.ThanksChris WillisHiFi Simulation Software Team Developerhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

Kind Regards

I have a high end rig but tried all the different clouds and res sizes,256,512,mip on/off. I see no difference in appearance or performance. Might just be me. I now use DXT3 clouds and got a BIG fps boost.
