Hi Jim, I think that the textures are not for the FS9 part of the package, they seem to be for FSXetc.

BJ,
It seems that Jim maybe has not completed some of them to FS9 standard but are you not able to convert the rest yourself?

It really is a simple task to convert them. If a complete graphics dunce as myself is able to convert dds files to FS9 bmps using just DXTBMP, and, where needed, Paint.

Believe me if I am comfortable doing it - everybody can. Is it just that nobody has explained how to do it?

They need, preferably, to be converted from the paint master in RGB format Steve. If you convert from an already compressed texture (.dxt or .dds) you compress them twice and degrade the quality.

Absolutely agree, John.

I was more thinking about the process here as we do get this question occasionally and it also applies to civvie stuff that you can get on other sites.
