• 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.

Hi, Im from a virtual aviation community called Stansted ATC and i was wondering if anyone new a program that lets you create or edit DDS texture flies.

Many Thanks
 
you can use DDS converter 2
Set input to DDS set out put to tga or png etc do your rework and use dds converter to go back the other way.
I use *.tga format with paint.net for simple changes
cheers Marty

Do a Google search and it should turn up

1 Use dds converter two to convert your DDS files into a format suitable for you to work on. Eample *.tga *.png etc

2 Flip the image up the right way

3 Edit the image with whatever drawing/image program you use.

4 Flip the image back again.

5 convert back to *.dds format

6 place the new file in the texture folder with the same name as the one you wish to replace.
 
You can also use ImageTool that comes with the FS SDK to convert the textures. It can convert the DDS to a normal BMP for example, that you can then use to edit in your favorite painting program. After that you can use ImageTool again to convert it back to DDS.
