Hello everyone,

In order to help me out, you must have FS Repaint, just for the record. Now that we've gotten this cleared up, I was wondering how to make the letters be readable on both sides of the Cessna 172SP. Since the fuselage uses reflective textures (I don't know if that would be the correct term), there is a two-dimensional half of the fuselage. When I try to write something (i.e.- Foxtrot Air, Delta, or United Airlines) it shows up on both sides, but is only readable on one side, and leaves the other sides' letters all backwards. If anyone can help me out with this topic, reply or send me an email. Grin

and btw, this is my first post for Simviation! 8) 8)

The default aircraft, for the most part, have the one texture for both sides, so that one is the mirror image of the other.

So you're saying that there is no way possible (using FS Repaint) for the letters to be readable on both sides of the aircraft?

That is correct. The paint kit is mirrored an only shows correctly on one side. May I suggest searching SimV for a better C-172 model and paintkit; i.e., one that is NOT mirrored.

Look at C-172 model by Pavel Toman.

Remember: if the repaint is for AI use, repaint and AI model
