• 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.

DXTBmp Problem

Using XP, FS2004, FSX. I installed version 4.00.94. I also installed mwgfxdll.exe. Does not seem to matter if I install in C:\Graphics folder I create
or if I put it in C:\Program Files\DXTBmp folder or any other choices.
My problem is trying to use the "Open With" program. As you can see, the
icon is not displayed as a airplane. This makes me think it is not active.

The main problem is this message: C:\Documents and Settings\Computer Name\
Desktop\Name.bmp or Name.jepg is not a valid Win32 application.
How can I correct this?
Thank You

I've never had to use mwgfxdll.exe to get dxtbmp to work. Can you open bxtbmp, browse to your image and open it that way? Also Image Tool in the FSX SDK works better for FSX textures.

Google "open with" for xp.

or type sendto in the run interface and it will bring up a folder. Then make a shortcut of dxtbmp and place it in there.

Now when you right click on your file, dxtbmp will be an option. While your at it add one for imagetool, bglcomp, photoshop etc



Also, you can drag and drop into dxtbmp.
