RUNWAYS IN CFS2

What format are the runways in CFS2 saved as? Are the runways DXT 1,2, 3 or 256 "extended format"? Curious as to the right way. Will runways from say FS2000 or 2002 in retitled to match CFS2 play in the game?
 
Fibber,

CFS2 runways (coral, dirt, steelmat) are 16bit 444 extended bmp (see SCENEDB/RUNWAYS).
The older runways (main texture folder) seem to be old R8 bmps, limited colours & limited pixel size, & may not be that easy to modfy to get extra detail into.

I think a better idea is to do what Maskrider & Pen32win did, & that's create dedicated runway/ blended backdrop bmps for the tarmac/ gravel/ concrete surfaces at individual airfields & create invisible runways in FSSC.

Hope this helps.
