Question Orbiter Texture Extension Support?

[EliNaut]

Quick question, what kind of extensions does orbiter support for textures? Is it just the DDS?

I'm playing around with making a custom skin for my own XR2 if anyone has any tips that'd be much abliged too. For this, I'm using Gimp for future reference.

Thanks!

Yea, I think it's just dds for now at least. But GIMP has a dds plugin so you can open and save dds files just like you open and save other picture files. I've used it quite a bit and have had no problems with it. (even if the textures weren't able to be included on the models!)

Cool, thanks Zatnikitelman.
..But is the plugin a download? I was looking this morning and I didn't see it in the list.

I just Googled "Gimp DDS" and found this at the top of the page:
