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...

Re: FSX Repaint Info
Are you sure the Accel SDK is IDENTICAL to the SP.1a you have already? You said the file size is the same but are the file creation dates the same too?

Re: FSX Repaint Info
Hmmmm.....I'm not sure but I THINK they mean do not install FSX SP.2 if you have Acceleration installed and not do not install the SDK SP update....they are different animals.
