I've been repainting from photoshop 7 and when i save it in .dss form it always seems really blurry. I try to fine a better option, and the only one that seems really good is the sharpen medium option. Has anyone else had this problem?

Rifro I'm pretty sure we're talking .dds rather than .dss files for FSX. In that case you might need the NVIDIA DDS Plug-in from here:

@ belgeode, I don't know whether you own FSX or not. What used to be Bitmaps in fs9 and previous versions have been changed to .dds format in FSX to confuse us even more Laughing

I'm assuming Rifro is repainting for FSX.

I use FS9 tailhook so I have no idea what he was talking about. It was not specific as to what version was being used.

Very true belgeode, Rifro wasn't specific at all, I just happened to see his name in the FSX section so I jumped to the conclusion.

Mind you, it's certainly possible that he also owns fs9 and is actually painting for fs9 in which case your DXTBMP suggestion is spot on. Let's see what happens

Very Happy
