Search for a free download of DXTbmp texture tool. Most everyone uses it for working with dds/extended bmps.

The original Lear Jet was designed as a Swiss fighter and very small changes to get the FAA approval as a civil private jet.

The Learjet started life as an abortive Swiss ground-attack fighter aircraft, the FFA P-16. Development started in 1952 and prototypes were ordered the next year. The first prototypes flew in 1955 and construction and testing continued until 1958 when an order for 100 was placed. This was reversed soon after due to a crash of the third prototype. Two additional prototypes were finished, the last in 1960, but the project was ended at this point.The basic structure of this aircraft was seen by Bill Lear and his team as a good starting point to the development of a business jet, which was originally intended to be called the SAAC-23. The wing with its distinctive tip fuel tanks and landing gear of the first Learjets were little changed from those used by the fighter prototypes. The tooling for building the aircraft was purchased and moved to Wichita, Kansas, in 1962. LearJet was in a temporary office which opened in September 1962 while the plant at Wichita's airport was under construction. On February 7, 1963 assembly of the first Learjet began. The next year, the company was renamed the Lear Jet Corporation.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LearjetRay

Thanks, Steffen and Ray! That explains why the LearJet reeks of speed (though without the actual speed). Those old engines are also jetfighter loud! :Big Grin:Cheers,- jahman.
