Hi,

My apologies if this is a dumb question, or if it has been asked before (couldn't find anything using search)...

Is it possible to download a Captain Sim 757 livery meant for FS2004 and install it for use by the FSX version? The one I downloaded recently (Northwest Airlines, new colors) stated that it is ACE compliant, but I'm not sure if the FS2004 version of ACE is compatible with the new FSX version, so I'm hesitant to try it. Has anyone successfully installed a FS2004 livery into CS 757 FSX?

I've also noticed that the files in the FSX CS 757 texture folders have the extension .DDS whereas the FS2004 CS 757 texture files have the more familiar .BMP extension.

Alternatively, if it is not possible to use FS2004 liveries, does anyone know where to obtain a Northwest Airlines new style livery for the FSX CS757?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi Bob.

You can use liveries made for for FS2004.  The DXT 3 file format works just fine in FSX.  DDS just gives is an improvement in performance.

Hope this helps

It sure does Dax, thanks so much! That's good to know.

I tried it and it worked perfectly. I'm quite happy about this, since it ultimately means that there are far more liveries available than I originally thought. :-)

Take care.
