Need some administrative help

SOH-CM-2024
I just got through converting all of the payware Flight Replicas Bf-109F package's .bmp textures to DDSDXT5 format. Got rid of that black disk for a prop blur with a new texture and added swastikas for those that want them. Also added a repaint of Franz Ziegler's Bf-109F-4. Tried to upload the new textures here at SOH and got a message that the Upload was too large! What gives, the entire package of textures are only 155 MB zipped and the Upload says that zip files can be as large as 715 MB. Please inform.
 
When This Happened

When this happened to me a couple months ago I found that the thumbnail photos I was trying to send were too large NOT the zip file. Check how large your photos are and reduce their size to the recommended size of 488 kb no larger. You can find this out by choosing properties of the jpg.
 
Thanks guys

Sure that is the problem. Will resize and ship the zip up. If you have this payware, I am sure you will prefer these textures to the .bmp textures.

That was the issue

The zip et al went up should be in the Warbird Library soon under WW II Skins or my Username.
 
DDS textures for the payware Flight Replica Bf-109F for FSX

377816010501915601.jpg

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX Military skins - WWII

Description: These are all replacement textures for the Flight Replicas Bf-109F for FSX. The main fuselage and, wings, and stabilizers have been doubled in size to 2048-pixels, then saved in a DDSDXT5 format. If you desire not to replace the .bmp textures, take them to a separate folder and save them to replace my DDS textures. I don't think you will if your rig is fast enough.


I also made a prop blur to replace that atrocious black blur in the original for all flight models. The Thumbnails were left in their original condition without swastikas, except for my repaint included of Franz Ziegler's JG27 F-4. For that reason and in case the Europeans would like DDS textures without the swastika, I have included a separate folder of the fuselage textures without swastikas. The folders contain all the needed textures, simply replace the existing texture folders with my folders. For those not wanting or by law not allowing swastikas, you will have to open the optional folder with the fuselage texture and replace those in the new DDS textures. These are also in DDS format.


No tweaking of any .cfg needed except for the Messerschmitt Bf-109F-4 where I added Ziegler's aircraft. The information needed to be added to that .cfg is found in the Read Me file within the Messerschmitt F-4 folder.
