Point to your FSLTL base/airplanes folder. Remove any images that are equal or smaller than the size you are resizing to. Remove images that do not have square dimensions i.e.are not 4096x4096 or 2048x2048 by sorting the Properties column. If information does not exist, compare the file sizes 4. On the Actions tab, Add Action > Resize 5. On the Actions tab, Presets - custom, Mode = Fit, Width & Height = 1024 (or 2048), Keep Ratio = tick. Unlick the others. 6. Output, Folder = blank, Filename = blank, If output file already exists = Replace, untick everything else, Format = Save as original. 7. Hit Convert 8 Wait! 🙂 9. I then used Ordenador (you may need to register on website to download) across the same folder, without changing any settings. I am not sure if this step is necessary or if the settings are correct, so someone else will need to advise. 10. Load MSFS ensuring that your folder with your new images is called SimObjects and not SimObjects - copy or something else! **Please do not share your FSLTL base folder with other users, as these instructions are only for your own use and it would breach copyright of the original product.

Then you should be able to run Ordenador.exe I am having issues with dll files missing. I am trying to resolve this on a VM first before I mess around with my main windows. OK fixed the dll issues and now Ordenador opens. Will try to give this a go shortly Edited October 6, 20223 yr by RJC68 Richard i7-12700K | Noctua NH-D15S Black Version | MSI Pro Z690 - A | 32 GB DDR4 3600 | Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 | 1TB WD Blue NMVe (MSFS 2020) | 500 GB WD Black Gen 4 NVMe | 4TB WD Black Conventional | Fractal Design Torrent Case | Seasonic 1000W Gold Plus PSU | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Honeycomb Throttle | Airbus Side Stick | Virpil Rudder Pedals | Sony X90K 55 Inch TV |

When you say "without changing any settings" in Ordenador, do you have the Mipmaps checkbox selected and 'make if not mipmaps' in the dropdown?

I followed your guide but the conversion process destroyed most of the textures unfortunately I am not able to add images here as I dont have an account for image uploads elsewhere. I am just doing another test with 2048 images, so will see if that was successful too.

October 6, 20223 yr They have said they have no intention to provide 2048x2048 textures but that they will resize the 8k ones.. Ryzen 5800X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX 4090, Windows 11Link to my: Dynamic Flight Dispatch Tool
October 6, 20223 yr Author I have followed the process for 2048 x 2048 images and loaded into MSFS without any issues so far. Folder comes in at 5.84GB and FPS is about 3-4 lower on my system vs 1024 images.

Edit: Just tried it and it works fine. Will take a while but well worth it if it's a significant performance increase. 2048x is enough for AI planes. Did you manage to reduce any 8K textures with Ordenador?

October 6, 20223 yr Ordenador is only used to add mip maps after the down scaling. Uncheckall setting except the mip maps option. There is no need to convert twice. The resizing and compression conversation is done using Xnview. Mp.
