Re: Advice on upgrade from techy types please
I just checked my FSX install and it currently shows 32 Gb and that is for FSX+Acceleration with 690+ aircraft variants (when you include all the repaints of various models). :o :roll: In addition I also have a FSX scenery folder on the same drive which is almost 1 Gb in size (I install all add-on s...

Re: Advice on upgrade from techy types please
Oh dear!! Any remote thought of the dark side is no more!! :roll: That would mean a complete upgrade and OS....unfortunately there has to come a time when spending hundreds of pounds to run a new flight sim cannot be deemed appropriate or cost effective.....I have put a complete stop to upgrades on...

Re: What do you use to create .pdf documents ?
Open Office has a PDF writer built into it and is free. I use that when making PDF text documents (I gave up using MS Office a long time ago). I also have an older version of the full Adobe Acrobat which includes 'Distiller' which is Adobe's own PDF writer.

Re: FSX Repaint Info
If spec and bump maps are there then re-painters can alter them, if they aren't then they can't be added as the model won't know to look for them. Well yes and no.....lol. To be able to repaint successfully (if you want to use the spec maps that is) then each texture should have it's own spec map a...

In FSX as you pan around an aircraft in external view you can get...

Re: FSX Repaint Info
Back to the original question about FSX repaints. For FS9 I used Photoshop and Martin Wrights DXT.BMP program....I see it supports DDS files so will it be OK to use that or are there other tools to recommend using? I see we have Image Tool in the SDK and NVidea do a plug in so what is the best cour...
