Opening dds texture files

mongoose

SOH-CM-2025
Anyone had an issue with opening some aircraft texture files? Some won't open for me with eith paint.net or GIMP.
 
AND THE ANSWER IS!! --DXTBmp; available many places related to FS sites. Works great. Also used in editing dds files.
 
I use the PhotoShop plug-in. The only ones I've ever had trouble with were part of the Firepower package, as they seemed to have an extra layer of encrypting added to them.
 
Duh! I have DXTBmp! However it won't open my dds files.
Having said that, I've made it work by changing the editor to paint.net
