Hey guys.
          I just downloaded the Fairchild 728 for FS2k2 (from simviation) .  And the textures are kind of screwy.  On one side of the plane, there are clear paint markings and looks nice.  On the other side, the colors just form a white, with a hint of blue, blur.  It is just a blur.  However the tail is the opposite;  The side of the plane with good textures, has a blurry tail, the side with the bad textures has the non blurry tail.  Do any of you have any ideas for correcting the problem, or perhaps know where the same plane with a different livery could be found?

The blurry tail textures you talk of could be to do with MIPMAPS.

If you have Martin Wright's DXT BMP you will see there is a little check-box in the middle right side of the screen. It usually says 'enable Mipmaps' or something like that and is usually ticked by default.

Try opening the blurry tail textures in DXTBMP and un-checking the Mipmaps box - then save the texture in its origninal format.

Start FS2002 and if it works, try doing it with all of the bad textures - but it does sound like some may have a more complex problem.

This worked on a Hawker Hunter T7 that i was texturing which had a blurry textures problem. Dunno if it will work for you though?

Good luck!
