• 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.

FSX Repant Question

I am trying to make a repaint for the default FSX king air 350. inside the existing texture folders, there are dds files. I researched and found out that they are compressed texture files. are they editable at all? if so, how can I edit them? Or is there a whole other way to make a repaint or a place where I can get more instructions about that?

General repaint tutorials may be best found by a general web search.

DDS files can be converted with DXTBMP or Imagetool from the FSX or P3D SDKs. There's also a DDS plugin for GIMP and Photoshop. (All can be found with a web search.)
