.R8 Texture Files

Featured Replies

Does anyone know of a utility which can open .r8 texture files in FS9?My problem is that I have an airport scenery which shows one of the surfaces as bright orange, when I know that it should be grey.I'm having to guess which texture is being used, therefore it would also help if anyone knows if there is a program to identify the texture.AFCAD2 was used to create the surface, and gravel texture was used. As far as I know, AFCAD2 doesn't have any built-in textures, or does it?David Hanstater

No need to reply, thanks.I've discovered that dxtBMP opens .r8 texture files.I've also found a workaround for my orange 'gravel'. I simply changed to another surface texture with AFCAD2.I still don't know why it showed bright orange in FS9, though.David Hanstater
