I think you just made the 90% most difficult in FSX-SDK [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif] I congratulate you ,and when is black is because the image BMP or DDS has to be square 1024x1024 or 512x512 , also many other reasons ,like perhaps you forgot to put the texture compressed in the aircraft texture folder ,But I'm really (Honest) happy for you Kevin

Cheers and welcome to design world

PS: Type a *.TXT like an instructions of what you did to have a successfully export ,I do have my own instructions and read them all the time i have to format my HDDS
