Am I stuck with 8bit PCX textures in FS2 retail?
Can FS2 Retail use anything other than 8bit PCX for textures?

Well, it can use 8-Bit ANI files for some things too, but I think "No", is sill the correct answer here.

If you mean only 8-bit (as opposed to other bit-depths) then I'm not sure, but if you're referring to other formats, I'm pretty sure it also support DDS.  JPG and TGA are there too, if discouraged?

FS2_Open supports them. With retail you've got PCX and ANI at best.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

If you mean only 8-bit (as opposed to other bit-depths

256 colors. No the retail vesion has only PCX and ANI, but why would you want to stick to retail?
