It's only a guess but if you're working in DDS format I suspect you need to flip the textures before saving them.

It's not necessary to reboot the computer for the new textures or any addons to display in any version of MSFS.

That would depend on how you flipped them to edit them. DXTBmp has a flip/mirror feature.

I don't flip them to edit them.  I just open the file in DXTBMP, save it as 24 bit windows bitmap, then open in my image editor and start editing the pixels.

By the way, I just finished the conversions so I'm going to test them real quick so hold on a minute.

All five worked perfectly.  In my opinion, of the five, American Pacific, Pacifica and the World Travel ones turned out the best.  Make sure it's at night and turn on the landing lights to see the glow.  Just give me your email address and I'll send them to you.  They're for FS2004.

The default FS2004 Boeing 737-400 to make it glow in the dark like neon on the outside body using landing lights.

By the way your little email button at the bottom of your posts isn't working and I don't know how to correctly work this forum's file link function even though I found it in the Help section.

I just uploaded the plane so it should be up in 1-2 days. It's called "FS2004 Glowing Boeing 737-400".  If anyone want's it early let me know and I'll send it to you as an email attachment so you'll have it without the wait.  the download is stand alone so don't get rid o the default Boeing.

HI,

Again there are a few problems with this upload.

1. It contains the whole aircraft. For default aircraft please just upload the textures file

2. It contains the whole aircraft.conf file - which if anyone installs will mess up their existing FS9 B747 because it will overwrite their file. Please just include the edit for your textures like I described above. (the
[fltsim.x]
section)

3. No screenshot - please include a screenshot.

4. No readme - please include a readme or file id describing the file.


As you are here discussing your repaints and even offering to do repaints, it would be the natural thing to include some screenshots of your work so far. Smiley

Thanks
