Texture problem

[MarcXan]

Hi,
I've got a problem, default textures on a payware or freeware aircraft work fine but each time I repaint one myself when I choose it, without even selecting it, fs2004 crashes. Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong when I'm repainting the textures?
Thanks

If you save as 32 bit it will crash FS

Make sure you have DXTBMP by Martin Wright

Save your paint  in you editor as a 24 bit bmp


Call it into DXT BMP and re save as an extended bitmap 32bit 888-8

A 32 extended is not the same as a standard 32bit you would save in say photoshop.

FS need extended BMP to work.

If they are saved as 24 and not re-saved as 32 888-8 then FS will run but the texture will not show

If they are saved as 32 bit and not re-saved as 32 888-8 then FS will crash
