Funny thing happens when I turn on the lights on my new repaint:

The fuselage glows. Turn them off and it goes away.

I don't recall having to deal with night textures as they did not come with the paint kit.

Thoughts?

This is the HTAI C90 isn't it?

If so check for a file named C90_L.bmp.

If it's not in the texture folder for that variant, look for it in your main texture folder.

It is a lightmap for that plane. They typically have _L in the filename.

If you find it, temporarily move it to your desktop and check the sim.

Hope this helps,
Joe

Don't argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Fixed the problem. It's the fuselage_l file.

Turns out it was 1.33MB, whereas the one in the main texture was 65.0 KB. Probably set up wrong when I first worked with alpha channels.

Copied it and overwrote the one in my repaint. No more glow in the dark Shocked

Thanks for your help, Joe!
