A note on texture mapping techniques in AFPD

Subject to the amount of RAM memory installed on the computer being used, I have found that I can use a texture file up to 4096 x 4096 pixels, that is 48 Mb in size. I don't yet know what the upper limit is in AFPD.

In addition, copies of the same texture file that have been re-scaled by a simple factor can be installed directly in the selected AFPD aircraft folder without any other changes or, in particular, any other re-mapping of the textures.

For instance, in the first example below, the texture file had a size of 4096 x 4096 pixels. In the second example, the same file was reduced by a factor of 8, 512 x 512 pixels. All I did was copy the reduced file into the folder.
