Does anyone out there knows how to rpair/rcover damged bmp files? Can't do any repaints at all, almost all of my airplanes textures are corrupted though FS works fine, planes are displayed OK, doesn't matter which paint program i use to open texture files (Paint Shop, Pixia, Paint) the results are alway the same, however if I use DXTBmp textures are displayed fine. Any idea? Please Help

Well... I think that the prob is very simple to solve, I belive that you textures are in DXT3, just open them in DXTBmp and convert them to 32 bit bmp files ;) Then you should be able to open them in any program

Thank you very much, I don't know what could it have happened to me, because what you have recomended has been the usual procedure in the past , perhaps I'm getting senile, anyway thanks a lot.

Any time pall
