MR [ 563 ] - 2025-07-12 09:09:52.118000

Resolve "Texture vertically flipped after exporting"
Modified why X-Plane and MSFS optimised objects handle flipping DDS textures to ensure that after exporting to another format the textures still show correctly. Closes #6772
Affected tools/features: ModelConverterX, Severity::bug, reader, writer

MR [ 561 ] - 2025-07-11 06:08:52.336000

Resolve "Calculate MSFS lod values based on vertex count"
Added functionality to restrict the minimum size value of MSFS 2024 object based on the number of vertices of the object. This uses the table in the SDK with allowed minimum sizes for different vertex counts. The LOD Creator form does also show the minimum LOD now that can be used for MSFS 2024 so that this restricting will not happen. Closes #6767
