OK, I Bought MSTS, Got Hooked, Filled up 5gig on my Hard drive and now am ready to "Make my own". The Make ace utility converts image files to ACE files , so How does one convert an ACE to BMP or TGA? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for any Help. Love the sim, this site, and boy is this FUN!! I also notice that 99% of the Regulars on this Forum are a GREAT Help to people like me. My Thanks
The best and easiest way to work with ace files is to get the tgatool2 program......It will do all this for you very easily.....convert to and from.......Very easy to use......Hope this helps.......Tim The Spur Line http://tahunter.net/thespurline Appalachia RR - Midwest & Rocky Mountain RR - ADFRR Route
As tim inadvertently forgot to mention it there, and as you're bound to ask where to get it from then TGATool2 is available from Martin Wright's website at: http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.ukBest Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear)
