• 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 everyone!

I am placing a new terminal at Minsk airport and I came across a problem: I have a good BGL that is shown in FS9. I also have bmp textures. However, when I place them into "Texture" folder nothing happens. There is just a building without windows, doors.

Now I am trying to change their format. Which of those shownon the picture is the right one?

Windows 8.1, FS2004, ADE9 v01.78.7298.

Thanks in advance, Aleksej.

I think it's DXT1, or extended bitmap DXT5 if you have an alpha channel.

If I understand the things right, an alpha channel is needed when there are lights. But I don't see such format among those on the picture. Maybe it has another name? Or maybe there is a program for converting into that format?
 
The alpha channel could be used for various things depending on the material settings, such as transparency for the windows. The DXT5 option is found when selecting the extended bitmap menu item, you can also use Martin Wrights program DXTBmp to save into different formats, it's a very useful tool.
