How to save .ktx2 files?

Hi,

I’ve started working on converting my first livery into the MSFS2024 native format.

Looks like everything is working except the textures: The only thing I could think of is that I’m using a wrong format when exporting the .ktx2 files.
I haven’t found anything about this in the documentation. Is there a specific compression/format what we need to use?
I’m using the program called ImageViewer what was recommended in the documentation.

Arno at FSDeveloper may have some insight here. You could bug Arno to develop a ktx2ToPng converter.

@gcs7e74205,

You shouldn’t create the KTX2 textures yourself: you can still use PNG, TIF or others, and the PackageBuilder will convert them to KTX2 when you actually build your package.

Best regards,

Thanks! I managed to do it.
However, I was looking for an option outside the sim, without using the PackageBuilder. Is there a specific requirement for how the ktx2 files needs to be saved? - And a recommendation for a texture editor/converter?

+1 for something outside the sim - as a non-marketplace livery painter, I’ve never used the package builder, preferring to create my liveries outside the sim (it’s just quicker).
