Can someone tell me what went wrong please. I decided to try and repaint the default 737-800. I used DDS Converter to change to image to jpeg so that I could view/play with it. As I have never tried this before, I changed the logo on the tail and the base colour only to see how it would turn out before I spent time doing something that would not work. I converted it back, placed it back in the directory it came from and then ran FSX.
What I did looked quite good except for the following. The aircraft was a patchwork. The tail had painted windows, my new tail art was wrapped around the fuselage, basically, nothing was where it should be, it looked like something out of The Matrix

Try flipping the edited image before converting back to DDS format.

You would be better off using an uncompressed format like BMP or TGA to edit.

Thanks Hagar, I had turned the image for ease of "painting" and forgot to place it back in the same orientation
