• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA What bmp settings should FSX sky textures use?

I (years ago) edited part of a freeware sky texture set, and until recently they worked fine. (I have long since forgotten which set I actually used.) I've isolated my sky texture problem to, well, the sky textures. Since I can't find this anywhere, what precise DXTBMP settings should I use? The stock textures apparently don't use mipmaps, judging by the file size, while the addon ones do. Extended 32 bit 8-888, right? When saving the .tga before sending it to be converted, save as full RGB color in photoshop, right? Should I check 16 bit dither? Which settings, if I should? The starngest thing about all this it that until a month ago they worked perfectly fine. But now they aren't working on even a new install on a new computer. Any help?

For future reference, since it hasn't been posted anywhere online I can find, and since I figured it out - use an extended .bmp, extended 32 bit 8-888, dither off, apparently, mipmaps strangely don't seem to make a difference I can notice either way, both with and without seem to work, so I left them off.
