Hi everyone,
I'm new here and I had a quick question.

What format do I save a jet skin at when I repaint it?

Thanks for the help.

depends on the model, look at some of the textures already there, they are the size and format that you want to save 'em at.
Usally they are 24b or 32b .BMP files with alphachannel, and you'll need a little program called DXTbmp to convert normal .bmp's to the right type. You can find DXTbmp here: http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/index.htm


good luck!

Thanks for the Welcome Smiley

I'm a big Ferrari fan, and there is a F-104 that is painted Ferrari red with a Ferrari logo on the side...
I have the jet in my sim, but not much luck finding that texture.

This is what I was lookin for.

Is that "crash-rocket" your model ? My hobby is modell building, are you, too?
Hmm, a little joke for that powerful fighter:

What do you have to do if you want to have a Starfighter ?

Just go into your garden and wait!

Just remember that the "prancing horse"  insignia was first flown on Nieuports in WW1 by the Italian ace, Francisco (note I'm using the Spanish spelling) Barraca.  His family allowed Enzo Ferrari the use of the insignia for his Scuderia Ferrari.

Using the Ferrari logo/prancing horse insignia on a Starfighter sort of brings "back"  the insignia to the skies, eh?
