• 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.

I have reinstalled my Windows 7 and have since then problems with the DXTBMP. With Paint as Editor i can save the paint files and save as dds. But when I use Gimp 2.8 or 2.9 as an editor, he either does not save the files or he plays them with completely different colors. However, the norm.bmp will be displayed in the DXTBMP after saving in the editor message after reload. But I find no attitude where something could change. Similarly, when saving basically no longer asked for the admin rights. What could be the mistake? New installation did not help.

Don't export in 32bit .bmp format from GIMP. Only 24 bit .bmp files will export okay. You'll have to add any alpha channel with DXTBMP.
Or export straight to .dds format with the DDS plugin for GIMP (don't forget to merge all visible layers and horizontally flip the image before exporting).

The first attempt this morning looked very good with the 24 bit. Later I'll try it with the Texture Folder. I think I have luck. , Thanks a lot
