I have made a few repaints of the Default Boeing 747-400. My repaints does not show up under variations in the aircraft menu. Someone told me that one of my repaints would not work because of the decal. I don't understand how why none of my repaints will go on the plane. Could somebody plz help??? Thx

I found out why. the repaints were not working because the texture bmp files have to be in DXT3 format to work on the aircraft. When I am repainting the aircraft the bmp file is in the 16 bit format. So after I was done repainting I needed to covert the format to DXT3. Then it would have worked.

Why are you painting in 16 Bit ?

I normally convert the textures to 24 Bit, then repaint and convert to another format ???

The textures should also work in 8 Bit, DXT1 and 32 Bit

I repaint in 16 bit format because the program I use to paint the aircraft converts them from DXT3 to 16 bit. Then when I am done painting I just use to POSKY Image tool to convert them back.

So what happens if the textures come in another format?

IF also they dont work and your using PS8 you may have to set the transparency at the top somewhere in the layers I forgot because I dont have PS8 no more. Wink
