Greetings to all, i used to repaint aircraft in 2004 and convert them using DXTBMP with no problems.
Now as FSX is out i can't seen to load my aircraft repaint into the game. I really need this converted and loaded into the game for my website i run.

Can anyone help me out ???.

Im looking for someone to convert the file or let me know what new program to use. or even do it for me and just send me the textures back so i can just put it into the game.

I really appreciate any help given i really do, i am soooo desperat..

Thanks for all your help.

Aircraft textures is for Boeing 737-800
if you need the textures sent to you please email me @ uk_speedy@hotmail.co.uk

Best and kind regards Cry

Hi. You must have an old version of of DXTBmp. The current version will open & save in DDS format. This is the CFS3 & FSX native texture format.

No point in me doing it as I only have the FSX Demo. I don't understand the problem. The principle is exactly the same as for FS2004 except that the main textures are in DDS DXT5 format. DXTBmp can handle it.

If this is for an FS2004 aircraft save the textures in the original format. These will display in FSX.

PS. FS2004 default textures won't fit the FSX default aircraft.

From what you're saying I assume these textures are for the FS2004 default b737_400. If that's correct they won't fit the FSX default B737-800 whichever format you save them in.

Have you tried browsing Simviation? http://www.simviation.com/fsxjets6.htm

These are probably for an addon. FS2004 has no default 737-800.
