Regarding the new 512 texture support :

Were most of your Luftwaffe skins (esp. for the Bf109) done in 512x512 and then shrunk down? If so, can we expect a re-release of some of the old skins? They're amazing in 256x256, I can hardly imagine what they'd look like in 512!

No they are all 256 x 256. Although many of these use 2 textures effectively giving 50% fewer pixels than 512 but still pretty good resolution (e.g. the I-16). The only texture I did do in 512 was the recent Ta152H-1, but the effect when it was resized was far inferior to the one I can get working from an original in 256.

Personally I see little merit in creating larger textures as I primarily use this game online. I am more interested in the appearance of the cockpit and how a plane looks in my gunsight rather than in a screenshot. And 512 looks no better in my gunsight than 256.
