DXTBmp

First of all, let me say that I just discover DXTBmp and want to thank Martin for the fine job.

I just started to repaint some A/C textures in FSX and want to share what I had to learn on my own. I was converting the DDS file to BMP and editing (repainting) them in Xara Extreme. Then I would convert them back to DDS but was losing the transparency in the windshield etc. I learned that you have to export the alpha layer or channel as a bmp before converting. After you edit (paint) the file and convert it back to DDS, before you save it, import the original alpha . In FSX, I think you have to save the file as DDS DXT5. This has been working good for me.

Hope this helps some of you new novice repainters like myself.
