• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

How is it possible to open .dds format files, and copy them under formats usable in CFS 2?

Regards to all of you, and a spetial thank to the one who can solve my problem.

Reason is that thre are here and there lots of nice texture for FSX, which could be reimported in CFS2.
Last exampleis a nice package with repaints of AF Scrub's HS 126 with Greek colours...

Last minute info: AF Scrub just issued an Arado Ar 79 in early German colours....
 
You must d/l from the web a free prog called "easy to convert dds to bmp's" or something similar. Load the dds and press the convert button.

cheers

Thanks Nik for the prompt answer.

I'getting old, and I don't have even searched on the web before asking the question.

For your information, I discovered thanks to your answer, that Martin Wright's DXTBmp programm can be used to convert dds to Bmp...

Next step is to convert the Greek Hs 126.

Have a nice week-end
