Change a terrain texture?

[marcost]

Hi,

 

I would like to change an airfield texture on Caucasus - it's in AirfieldsTextures.zip.

Can someone point me in the right direction - I have:

Decompressed AirfieldsTextures.zip and edited existing texture airfield_asphalt_05.bmp.dds, then I tried...

      - Leave decompressed folder in the path

      - Re-compress AirfieldsTextures.zip using - 7-zip, Winzip, Winrar (note I can't get the compressed file to be the same as original - does this indicate the issue?)

The revised texture doesn't show up.

I have tried the above in the following paths:

 

C:\Users\*MYUSERNAME*\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\terrains\Caucasus\vfstextures\

D:\DCS World\Mods\terrains\Caucasus\vfstextures\      ...(i.e. my main install)

What am I missing? Special compression format? Special image format? I am opening with Gimp, editing and saving to same file.

 

Thanks!

 

M
