how do i lower texture scale of pmdg aircraft?

[Hunonymous]

Get DXTbmp, load the textures to find out what they are, then you can re-save them at lower resolutions.

I don't know what result you're trying to achieve, but IMO the gain (if any) will be marginal.

I don't own any PMDG aircraft, but I suspect their (heavy) load on any system comes from systems and gauge processing, not visuals.

 

You can't edit FSX DDS- or BMP-files directly with PS btw.

[EDIT]Dogdish already made that clear, I see.

how do i save to lower res? i dont see any option when saving

[dogdish]

 

What resolution are they to begin with?

 

32bit DDS? If so could save as DXT5 DDS

 

Or are they

 

32bit BMP? If so could save as DXT3 BMP

I was having a OOM with a QW787-9 livery that somebody saved as 4096 x 4096 DXT5. So I used paint.net and resized them to 2048 x 2048. Still looks good.

 

Fixed the OOM.
