• 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.

GIMP

Hi,

Although I am not Dutch, I care about my wallet:).
So I use GIMP to make my textures (plus DXTBMP of course).
I updated GIMP to their newest 2.10 but then I can no longer open a texture in DXTBMP, save it and automatically load it again in DXTBMP (I have to save as or export it and it will no longer update the texture).
I now use 2.6 to do it but wonder if there is a way to get that done also with the newest GIMP version.
Doug, maybe you know?

PS: I will be abroad and probably off line for the rest of the week.
 
What may be happening is that GIMP is saving as 32-bit color and DXTBMP can only handle up to 16 bit. I actually ran across this with Materialize and my very old PS - though GIMP had no problems (Actually I believe it was Substance Painter not Materialize).

Without looking at the texture in question, I really don't know... but that would be my guess.

Correction: 24-bit color, I believe is what DXTBMP uses.
