Format for Ground Textures?

[Daiwilletti]

I have downloaded some ground textures from the AVSIM site. Thought some might be useful (wide range of things allowed with the package. However the bitmap format is the one with all the crazy colours and I cannot remember if there is anything that can be done to make the format useable?

Hi David, if you look up Martin Wright Graphics I think he has tools to open and convert these to the dds 5 that we need for cfs3. DXTBMP springs to mind but I'm not on my pc to check.

Thanks, Clive! Seems like all roads lead to MWG at the moment!

Hep, he did make some very useful tools and tutorials.
What textures are you looking at David?

It is a package of USA ground textures from Flyaway Simulation. Quite big, over 10MB in zipped form. I thought there might be some that captured a slightly different look for some of the European textures. Guess I would have to make some .mos files though. The Readme mentions Avsim hence the erroneous location given in the first post.
