Finals are done and Schools out!!!!!!!!!!! Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy, well until August 31. Then I get to be a sophomore (did I spell that right??) and get to pick on freshmen...hehe.... Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Ok, lets get back to bussiness, I been doing repaints, and I was repainting the new PSW CRJ-700 since school got out today. (I was suppose to work on the website tabs for James.....sorry James) but here is what I got right now. (Its in the British Airways livery, incase you didn't reconize it)

...

Here is what I need help with

The thing seems to be streched, how do I fix it???? Its circled in black
...

The tail logo isn't too good, can anyone get me a good one, or tell me how to do a good one, it would be much appreached
...

and last but not least, how do I get rid of the dirty look on the aircraft and give it shine???
...

Remember, I just started on this one, and I just started repainting yesterday, so don't confuse me Wink

Thanks
Jeff

Just a small constructive critism, the regestration in picture number 3 is the mirror image.  It is a real easy fix in PhotoShop.

to give it more of a shine, darken the alpha in the shinier areas

Stormtropper,

Great looking repaint Smiley

An alpha channel controls the amount of shine that reflects of an aircraft in FS. The lighter you make it, the less amount of shine you get.

so to make it more shiney. open the alpha channel and colour it in a light shade of grey, keep testing to see if it is how you want it..

The stretched textures cant be helped to my knowledge because it depends on how they are applied to the model in GMAX or FSDS2. sorry bout that

Which program are you using? If you are using DXTBMP, the alpha is the small picture in grayscale in the top right of the screen
