I do remember seeing a document or listing of what all texture files were in FS9. i.e. it told you that 027b2*.bmp were forest textures and 039bs*.bmp were city/town textures etc etc.Does anyone remember where this is?Thanks.Paul.

Where, I'm not sure, but a couple of files that should help are:lc_france-src.zipLandclasstabellen und Landclasstestscenery.zipthere is a utility that helps called poly view:polybsetup.zipscott s..

Hi Paul.Try this: http://hsandmann.com/FSX/HS_FSX_Land_Class_Table_v2.zipCheers Hasse.

Hello,The above link is useless ...Was trapped myself .. lol

And OP request:

what all texture files were in FS9

Regards.Gus.

I guess I'll have to keep digging.Thanks.

What are some practical uses of a program like this ? What would it be used for and how would it help? jerrycwo4

HelloFrom the homepage in the link posted: Why convert textures? There are many reasons to convert textures into a different format. If you have legacy textures in the BMP or R8 format, converting them into DXT1 or DXT3 can both improve the image quality (greatly reduces jitter) and performance (the compressed texture takes less graphics memory and is natively supported by nearly all graphics cards). You may want to convert a texture back into the BMP format, edit it with your favorite graphics editor and convert it back into the original format. Different graphics cards have varying performance with different texture formats. You may achieve better performance by converting the textures to another format. With FSX, you may be able to achieve better performance by converting textures to the corresponding DDS formats. In this case, remember not to share the converted textures with any FS2004 users, because they would no longer work with FS2004. Texture Doctor makes it very easy to convert textures, so you can simply experiment. Using the built-in restore function, you can always go back to the original textures if you don't like the results. Note: Texture Doctor will not resolve texture problems experienced by some FS2004 aircraft models in FSX SP2/Acceleration. Our Addon Converter X product should be used for that.

I don't necessarily want to convert any. I just want to find this list I remember seeing stating that for example the 027b2*.bmp were forest textures and the 039b2*.bmp where city/town textures etc.I'm not looking for a converting tool or anything like that just this document/pdf or what ever it was that lists what each texture is for.Thanks.Paul.

Try the Microsoft terrain SDK for FS9. As far as I remember, there was a texture name table listing all world textures.http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/f...n_sdk_setup.exeThis link still works, I believe.Cheers,Sascha

Thank you Sascha that is exactly what I was looking for.Is the the Sascha that is making the new Reality Pack 3.0?If so do you have an update on the timeframe of its release? Freeware or Payware?ThanksPaul.

Yes, I am still making progress but have had a stressful year with work, family and moving house so not as much as I would have liked.On a positive note, I have a nice new computer which I am setting up, so am motivated to get to grips with designing again!Cheers,Sascha
