September 23, 200817 yr For personal use only I would like to change the textures of a payware aircraft
September 23, 200817 yr Author Moderator You must convert the bitmap to a DXT3 compressed format. Use either Imagetool.exe or DXTBMP.exe for this... Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
September 24, 200817 yr Bill, because of your hint I was able to fix the problem. Actually the original textures are not in DXT3 format but in 32 bit. But using Imagetool as suggested I found out that PSP converts the textures to 24 bit when saving.The strange thing is though, that I have to reload the panel/plane 2 or 3 times (or have to load another panel in between), before the changes I made to the textures are displayed in FS2004. But I can live with this.Thanks again, Wolfgang
September 24, 200817 yr Author Moderator Well, you also have the option of saving your revisions directly to 32bit format from PSP, IIRC.Yes, you must flush the cache by changing a/c before texture changes are loaded and displayed. This is annoying, but perfectly normal... ;) Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
