Understand problem, but can't execute solution.

Postby ThomasKaira » Wed Sep 03, 2008 6:25 pm

The problem: A WoAI A320 Spanair texture is improperly formatted as a 32bit BMP rather than DXT3

The Solution: Convert troublesome texture to DXT3.

But how? :-?

Current Cheap fix: The bad texture has been replaced with a good one.

Install Martin Wright's Dxtbmp-http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/programs/dxtbmp.htm

Open the .bmp in Dxtbmp and save as DXT3

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
