Need Help with a Repaint

Postby Iroquois » Sun Apr 20, 2003 2:27 pm

I'm trying to repaint a POSKY CRJ200 and I'm not having much luck. I did a simple repaint using their paint kit. After repainting, when I go into the FS2002, the painted textures don't show up on the aircraft. I did not change any picture formats. What's going on?
BTW, I'm using Corel Photohouse 2 as a paint program.

I'm not familiar with PhotoHouse but suspect like most graphics programs it saves out in 24 bit format. The sims cannot read this particular format. You need to either save in 8 bit if possible or convert them to one of the FS texture formats. MW's DXTBmp is ideal for converting them. http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/index.htm

Try to save them in their original format. I'm not sure which texture format Posky use.
