I need a little help with the aircraft painting. I can open the bitmap with DXTbmp and save it as 24 bit BMP image and paint the airplane and when I am finished I save it, as a extented bitmap. This works great for 2002 but when I put it in 2004 the paint job is blurred,
From what I read so far It has to be changed to a DXT3 and or 32bit.
My question is, what do I need to change it to this and where can I get it?
Can I change existing 24 bit image to 32 bit?

Hey Pickup,

All you need is DXTBmp, which you already have Grin

When you save the Bitmap as an Extended Bitmap, you are given a list of formats that you can save the Bitmap in (Save As Type), just scroll down the list and choose DXT-3 or 32 Bit.

Yes, Load the 24 Bit Bitmap in DXTBmp, then go to File --> Save As --> Extended Bitmap and choose Extended 32 Bit 888-8 from the dropbox menu next to the "Save As Type" writing.

Don't forget to de-select the Mip Maps tickbox on the right side of the screen when in DXTBmp.

Regards,
Stratobat

Ok Great Thankyou very much. I was looking for something harder I guess.

I tried it and it works fantastic. I never noticed the drop box before.

Thanks again
