PMDG External Textures

Featured Replies

HiHope someone can help me. I want to convert my aircraft textures to DXT3 format. I know how to do this using DXTBMP but was hoping someone could tell me which are the external textures I need to convert as in each texture folder there are around 72 textures. I have the level d aircraft and all the textures were already DXT3 format and I noticed a big improvement with fps where as at the moment the PMDG textures are a great fps hogger. This will be my first attempt at this.Thanks in advance for any advice or help given.Regards

I would suggest that you change them ALL to DXT3.I think I am right in saying that the VC textures in the PMDG are 32-bit too, and changing them to DXT3 can greatly improve the performance of the VC.In fact, you can take this one step further, I have have excellent results by changing the textuxes are "hefty" sceneries to DXT3 and even sometimes DXT1, this greatly improves performance.Dan.
