It makes no difference to how the tile appears. Howver, the tile is 1/3 the size if it is 256 colours.
To achieve this, you have to "index" the colours of the tile. I do not know how to do this on my ancient PSP7 program. I suspect that my ld PSP program cannot perform this task.
I d/l-ed Gimp for free from the net and I can index on that program. You load the tile. You go to image - mode and then change the tile to "indexed".
Go to "save as" and re save.
IMPORTANT - DO NOT JUST "SAVE". YOU MUST "SAVE AS... ". THE ISSUE IS THAT THE "SAVE" COMMAND AUTOMATICALLY COMPRESSES THE IMAGE AND MAKES IT UNUSABLE FOR IL-2.
WHEN YOU "SAVE AS", PAY ATTENTION TO THE DIALOGUE BOXES AND MAKE SURE YOU UNCHECK THE "COMPRESS FILE" OPTION TOWARDS THE END OF THE PROCESS.
