• 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.

I use the DXTbmp tool and PS CS6
But I see that I can't open MSFS paints
What tool handles these textures
In what format should it be saved?

The default tool of MSFS seems to save the dds in a format which DXTbmp can not read.
Workaround i use is open and save the dds-file via program "ModelConverterX" -> "Special tools" -> "Texture converter".

MSFS is able to read both formats, so also the dds saved in DXTbmp.

I use the nvidia dds plugin for photoshop, works like a charm most of the time.
When that fails, Gimp will usually be able to open them, and you can export as psd
