Where did it go?

[Jakemaster]

I just started repainting (or trying to) and when I wanted to see if it worked, the paint wasn't there!  How do I get my paint on to the plane in the game???

You really don't give much information.

Did you save the textures as straight 24-bit (16 million colors) bitmaps?  If so, FS won't recognize it.

Did you change the texture names?

etc.

etc.

What did you do, what texture conversions did you do?

[Jakemaster]

I was using the DXTbmp conversion program.

I uploaded the new paint into DXTbmp and saved it, copied and pasted the new texture folder into the aircraft folder, and finally went into the cfg and added another entry.

PS: This was just a test paint, so it was crap, but how do you paint and leave the unique texture of the default planes.

[atotti2000]

copy the texture and call it eg texture.mine
then alter the cfg file  ;D
