So I'm trying to re-paint an FSX CRJ200 found on AVSIM (rmacr2.zip if you want to look at it.) I painted it an re saved as a BMP, the same file type as the original texture. Now when I go to load this texture the game quits to desktop. It only happens on this texture. The one time it did load it showed the plane as black. Any help?

Are you sure it's not 24-bit? Use DXTBmp to save the BMP in an FS Extended format.

There are about 50 types of .bmp files. I forget which ones are supported by fsX though..... Try using DXTbmp which will let you save in the right format.

Tried it, 256, 24, 16, extended, even DDS. All gave me same results. Maby a retry is in order?

I was working on a repaint today and had the same problem. Load the plane, the game quits (very quickly and effectively I may add).
Turns out that I saved the bmp in 24 bits instead of 32 bits (with alpha). When I corrected this, no problem!
