Great! I've been looking at the textures prior to installing it. Great job! It's also very popular - I've had lots of requests for it to be included in RFB.

By the way, did you notice that the game seems to accept *.dds files even when the menu_1024_768.ini file calls for *.tga files? Do you have any idea why that is? Are tga and dds files related in some way?

Also, while I was browsing through the mod I noticed that one file is called "betterscopes_obs.dds" and the ini file calls for "betterscopes_observation.tga". I haven't installed the mod yet but I'm wondering if that has stopped it from working, or whether the last parts of the filename are ignored?
