Dave, That wing looks incredible!   :) Many thanks to you and your collegues for the hard work that you do -but a special thanks to you for the value that you keep adding to this great 757. I come to this forum every day in anticipation of one of two things...either news of SP 4.2 or previews of another one of Dax's repaints! Dave

Thanks Dave, Keep looking I'm sure SP 4.2 is not far away.

Dax, AMAZING! But tell me, what effect will this have on frame rates and when is the first repaint coming out? Alex :)

excellent eye candy. I"m sure its big hit on frame rates. Might become mainstream with FS11 perhaps  ;D

Well this is hard to believe but in testing on various machines it has shown absolutly no difference in frame rates.  All FSX does is take a bigger texture file and layes it over the same area.  This has shown that it increases the detail of the aircraft whilst having no effect on game frame rates.

Stunning and amazing Dax!!! But...will this tecnolgy be used in fs9.1 textures as well??? Regards Fábio

Unfortunatly this will not work in FS9.  FS9 restricts the size of the textures it uses.  FSX has no limit which means in theory you can create them as big as you want.  In practicallity the limit is the size of the acutal PSD fils used to make the repaint.
