A thread in the FS9 forum got me wondering about aircraft texture formats. This person said that the extended bit 565 format was better than other formats like DXT3. This is not to dispute this persons comment, since all computers are different, this format may work perfectly for them. It does not work for mine. The only format that works for me to save in is DXT3. DXT1, extended bit 565, etc are very blurry and distorted on my computer, however, here is the odd part, if I download aircraft textures saved by someone else in either the 565 or DXT1, my computer shows them just fine. So, it makes me wonder if I am doing something wrong or is my computer, game, video card set up wrong? I do have mip maps unchecked, btw.

I also wonder if the majority of you are having better luck with DXT1 or 565 formats, if my aircraft textures are blurry or distorted on your computers, since I only save in the DXT3 format?

Thanks!
