	When the flag is set it will flip such textures on lock() to make them look
	like non-rtt textures (origin left-top). Note that this also means the texture
	will be uploaded flipped on unlock. So mostly you want to have this flag set 
	when you want to look at the texture or save it, but unset if you want to
