A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Utilities

Description: This tool fixes the stutters and slow texture loading caused by dxt3 and dxt5 textures that are missing an active alpha channel. The bug occurs when using Imagetool to convert a 32bit bitmap files with a 100% opaque (white) alpha channel to DXT3 or DXT5. This causes stuttering in FS2004 (FS9). It's not as big of a problem in FSX/P3D as they mainly use DDS compression, but it's still good practice to use DXTFixerX here as well, as 3rd party addons might have these faulty textures sometimes. This tool simply and quickly scans your installation and fixes any faulty textures.

The program is a stand-alone program - no installation required. Just copy the folder "DxtFixerX" to wherever you like, and then run the program. Works in Windows 10.

Tried downloading but it doesn't seem to be working. Clicking on "Download" it goes to a blank page and then nothing. I'll try back from time to time to see if it works.
