Please help!

I'v done my first VERY basic re-paint of the POSKY CRJ-200 paint kit (in photoshop CS3). In FS repaint, it shows up as it should, but in flight sim it won't load the textures i'v re-painted (it shows up as grey) :-???? :-/

Any ideas???

wrong name for the texture file
wrong name in the aircraft.cfg
wrong format for the textures (did you use DXTbmp?)
are a few possibilities that come to mind...

that's a good point! i have DXTbmp, but i don't use it! should i be using it? and what format do a save it as?

depends on your sim and model

FS repaint reads standard  bitmaps but Flight Sim only reads extended bitmaps or DDS depending on which Sim you use and how the model is set up

That is why you can see it in FS Repaint but not in FS .

You need to convert the textures as mentioned above

But you need to tell us which sim

don't worry someone told me hoe to fix the problem!!!
