search for a thread called "like my jet" - it has an amazing tutorial by paulrkiri that explains how and where to drop the textures.... make sure you are converting them to .dds

does this tutorial work for LO and FC, i dont have dcs yet, new to Eagle Dynamics sims, and i thought i could just put .bmp's in the temp texture folder, to get a quick veiw of them.

i am pretty sure you still have to convert to .dds

 

download "The compressonator 1.5" ... and follow the directions in Paurkii's tutorial. Super simple and fun to mess with art!

Hi Rflagg88

 

If you use the Photoshop software, need you the Plugins that serves as a back up images to the DDS format (is a NVIDIA plugins, but it also works with ATI graphic cards)

 

 

Plugins available here

 

 

Once the Template changed, it back up in the DXT3 format (as in the above example below)

 

 

 

registration takes a little time

Here is an old tutorial with links of programs. The placement of files has slightly changed though.
