4096 textures and no obvious note to tell users to set "TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096" ?

I shall give that omission a very British "Harrumph" - even if the textures do look ok still.

Default in FSX is 1024, and if the sim reloads for any reason, then a previously set 4096 will default to 1024 and FSX automatically resizes the images back dow to 1024 - with the inherent loss of quality.

I'll just go for a fly...

My experience with 4096 textures is based on the OzX Team's Goose and Bell 206 paints - it makes a considerable difference there. But it does look good here.

So what's your method? Do you "tell" FSX to ignore the FSX.cfg?

The TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD only needs to be set for textures that use mipmaps. So if you set your textures to have no mipmaps they always display at maximum quality. This is only usable for aircraft textures and bumpmaps, landscape textures look very wrong with this. If you check the textures on the Cub (or any other A2A aircraft) you will see they have no mipmaps.
