Hi Jamie.

When you say it has no textures, it has nothing at all - wheel, flap etc? Or are some of the textures just totally reflective? I've experienced a similar thing with planes designed for FS9 that are stated to be FS2002 compatible, where parts of the texture are chrome-like when they are not supposed to be - a great example is the Antonov 224 on the DL pages here - the Russian space shuttle on the top of it was made of chrome.

Problem on that was that the textures were saved in a BMP format that FS2002 does not support. What I did was to use DXTBmp (you'd need to Google for it if you don't have it - great program!) to open the BMP files and then re-save them as DXT3 format - that fixed the problem. You might want to try that.

I once had 737 textures that were completely cromed in silver, gold, and rainbow colours. Some funky aircraft I can tell you.

Jamie,
Don't give up! Try this out:

- open DTXBmp
- open the BMP file in the apropriate texture folder (try it with the tail BMP - that's usually easy to locate)
- use the file menu and click 'save as'. From the drop down menu in the dialogue box, click DXT3 from the list.
- click OK.

Your texture file will now be visible in FS2002.

I'll have a look at the zip and see what happens in my '02.

Hi Microlight,
I think I did it right and was a slow procedure to do each one ( did two for the tail only ) , but may have the wrong version of DXT BMP - Texture Manipulator 4.00.82 .   ACE DXT1 Texture was the only DXT option listed .
