Hi all. Does anyone know of a generic texture conversion program that can work with any aircraft it is ran on in order to make a 32 bit tex into dxt3? I know some plane download with a specific texture converion exec but I am looking or a converter I can use with any plane. Specifically I would like to use it on the new ifly 744 to try to make it less of a frame hog. Any help? Thanks.

MIcrosoft's IMageTool, Martin Wright's DXTBMP .... you still have to load the textures individually and convert them, but for you purposes, that's probably best ... one at a time until you "find" the "culprit"...

I think you have the Imagetool on one of your MSFS2004 installation
disks.
Check your fs installation disks-there are several useful utilities and small programms there.

Hi
Um If you use imagetool and you know how to write a batch file you can do batch conversions of all textures
What I normally do is copy the batch file imagetool and all the textures to be converted to a new folder and run the batch file
ok batch file copy this text

imagetool -dxt3 *.bmp
pause
del *.bmp
ren *.mip *.bmp

open notepad and past the text above,Then File~save as
file name call it say convert.bat then click on the dropdown list for save as type select all files then save
Now copy this file +Imagetoll.exe and all the textures you wan to convert double click on convert.bat and you shoud see imagetool go to work,when finished the dos window will pause hit anykey to continue then copy all the textures back to the aircraft/texture folder and ya done

cheers
