Hi Guys,

I'm trying my luck on repainting the default FS9 DC-3.

Now I did some text on the nose but on the other side of the nose the text is mirrored. No matter what I try I can't solve this.

Is there a way to do nose art that is not mirrored?

The same goes for registration markings on the wings ...

Before I e-mail Mark Beaumont (using his repaint kit) I what to ask you guys.

Hopefully one of you knowledgables knows the answer.



Thank you,

Harold

are ou using the default files in the game (like me  Tongue) if so certian parts are always mirrored (like the wings on all the defualt FSX DDS files) so the nose cone might be automaticly mirrored

I think you may have to use a kit for this, theres really no easy way to get rid of the mirror effect on certain parts of aircraft

It's the way the model is mapped

Nothing you can do I'm afraid
