I'm repainting the PK for the Meljet 777-300, and i ran into a problem.

I can't seem to get the alpha working in order to show a chrome metal finish. I've gotten it to work on other planes and I can't seem to get it to work on the Meljet. Is there a property or something of the paint kit PSDs that is screwing with my Alpha? This is driving me absolutely insane!

If need be I can email or message you the texture to look at.

(its for a personal repaint, not distro.)

I figured it out. Well...I mean that loosely. I used to run the texture through imagetool and then DXTBmp, but I only converted it in Imagetool this time. Reflections show up. Not sure what was happening when I ran it through Imagetool AND DXTBmp that was causing reflections to not work, but just running it through Imagetool seems to do the trick.

Thanks for your help Cheesy
