DXT1. The first compression we will look at is DXT1. This is the most simple compression and also the basis for the other types. But let's start with a note about compression itself. You have probably noticed that the DXT compressed textures always have the same size. This is because they have a fixed compression ratio.

Apr 18, 2020 · It appears that a graphics card (or system) can get itself quite stressed up when the smaller and faster loading DXT1 textures are being processed, while at the same time the larger and slower loading DXT3s are also being processed.

Jul 25, 2021 · DXT1 and DXT3 have exactly the same quality, the only difference is the 1 bit alpha channel (black/white) of the DXT1 format vs the 8 bit alpha channel (grayscale) in DXT3. If a DXT image does not include a grayscale alpha channel, DXT1 is actually the most efficient choice.

Oct 10, 2007 · It might sound confusing but it is reall easy. I however prefer to go the long route. I open the file in imagetool and save it as a 8 bit image, then open it in psp, resize to whatever, save, reopen in imagetool convert to dxt1 and you are done.Douglas

Jun 17, 2022 · Does anyone know of a utility which can convert FS9 scenery textures in bulk, whatever they are, to DXT1 textures and without losing their alpha channels in the process ? I'm now doing this one by one, which can be a long and very tedious process.

Sep 23, 2007 · It seems to look a little better in the sim than DXT1 and apparently allows the full spectrum of grays on the alpha. It produces a .bmp of approx twice the filesize of DXT1, however still significantly reduced over 32 bit 888-8.
