I did not know there was an SDK file on there....I installed the SDK from Disc 1 on FSX.....
Just looked on the Acceleration disc and you are right there is an SDK.exe on ther...but it is identical to the SP1a I have just installed (160meg) so it IS installed now..... :roll:
Rather back to front but still not explaining the lack of that particular file.....
Maybe it is in SDK SP2 but I cannot put that one on as I have Acceleration Pack installed apparently.....
Getting conflicting reports on the net re these SDK updates......some say DO NOT install SDK SP2 if you have Acceleration pack installed whilst some sources tell me that SDK SP1a is for development for Acceleration aircraft only.....
Not sure where to go on this at the moment....it would have been so easy if M$ had put a more recent SDK on disc 1 in the first place.....
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.
Well I think that I shall download the SDK SP2 and think about it before possibly installing tomorrow....could always do a restore point I suppose...
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 course of action here?
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?
