Hi Ruffy. Your edited textures are probably 24-bit which FS cannot read. You need to convert them to an FS texture format. Try DXTBmp.
Open your edited images in DXTBmp & save them in an Extended BMP format. I suggest using the same format as the original F-14 textures.

If you want a single screenshot the easiest way would be to position the aircraft in FS & press the Print Scrn key. Then exit FS, start up Photoshop & press Ctrl + V to paste in the image. You can then resize it as necessary before saving it in JPEG format.

Hope you will like this   :)



----------------------------------------

EDIT:
I'm looking to do a couple of repaints for the Tomcat. But there's a problem:

Somebody knows, in which file i can find the texture for the canopy frame???? i don't find them  :'(


And i've got some questions more:

Somebody can link photos of all fighter-wings which fly the tomcat??? it doesn't matter if the tomcat on the pic is low-viz or high viz. The best is, you can link a biiiiiiig pc of the tails with a good resolution. or decal papers from plastic-kids are good!

Hope all of you will help me!

Cheers
