Preferred file format for texture?

Post by bluefang » Mon Aug 13, 2018 10:51 am

I see that some 3D objects use .dds files and others are using .bmps for their texture file. Is there any performance difference or feature advantage to using one over the other?

Also, is there any (debug) like command that allows us to walk around an airport area to get a feel for the layout of objects?

dds loads faster, and less space on disk.
