DXTBmp will help you manipulate 8/16/24/32 bit and DXT Extended Bitmap for Flight Simulator 2000 / 2002 / 2004 / FSX, CFS2 and CFS3.

Expanding on the 8 bit Extended Bitmap format introduced in CFS it added the increased colour depth of 16 bit (65536 colours) and larger texture sizes (up to 1024x1024 and also non-square). These 16 bit textures came in 2 main variations - 4444 (4 bit transparency) and pure 565 for normal textures for textures requiring an Alpha channel(mainly Clouds but also used for some objects requiring transparent parts).

The Beta version of CFS2 introduced another format - 5551 (1 bit Transparency) which is not supported by FS2000.

The Release version of CFS2 replaced the 565 and 5551 formats with a new compressed format. Instead of four 565 "Normal" and four 5551 "Damage" 512x512 textures for each of the main Aircraft it uses one DXT Opaque "Nor...
