Any chance you can update the Djerba and Sharm El Sheik installers to allow users to select the installation folder?

These are the only two airports of yours in which I can't manually select the install location. I would like to keep all my FSDG scenery in one folder.

We will release an update for HESH FSX in October. Due to my absence of my development PC I won't be able to do anything for the next 5 weeks, but afterwards we will pack the new, changed files together with a few other changes into an update that will also enable you to edit the textures (which ...

FSX does not know DXT1. Even if it does not sound plausible at first, DXT1 gives only disadvantages in FSX, no advantages. This is due to the way FSX handles textures.
