I've had problems with the DDS maps. First tried using Mars4K.DDS map to try it out. Did GO TO just after starting the program, then had a crash. Then tried going to another object first which was in jpg format, then went to Mars4K.DDS. This time it did not crash but was only at 2048X1024 resolution instead of 4K even when very close to Mars. I went into Photoshop, removed all the mip maps and saved a separate DDS file for all 3 subdirectories, 4k highres, 1k medres, 256 lowres. Now Mars does not load at all and the program just locks up. It seems that the DDS files have to be used as 1 file in the medres dir with mip maps. Only problem is you only get 2k resolution instead of 4k. Does anyone know why this is? I'm using GF2MX400 card. Could it be the 2048 x 2048 limit? This was a problem for png files. THANKS. Mark
