Paint Shop Pro 8 Bug?

[positiveg]

I am looking forward to repainting the Fokker 70 and 100 for this new va me and my friends are building, but I run into a problem whenever I open a texture file. I am using Paint Shop Pro 8. Does anyone know why this happens?:

It's not a Paint Shop Pro 8 (or any other version) bug It will happen because you're trying to open a non-standard bitmap.

Most FS2002 textures are probably DXT3 (or other) format that paint programs cannot read directly.

The best solution is to use MArtin Wright's DXTBMP program to open the texture, send it to your paint program and then again use DXTBMP to save it in the proper format.

Thanks, I'll try that.

I found this page suggesting what should be used and how to convert ita to textures compatible with a paint program. Go [link:www.echos.ch/eod/help/texturen.htm|here] to see the website.
