Ok here's your problem. When u save it it has to be in a seperate texture folder such as Texture.xx. Also you have to assign a configuration file to it in your CFG folder of your airplane and rename which number that comes next. i hope that helped!!!


By the way I use DXTbmp and I got it to work. One problem. All the landing gear pictures and windows end up painted all over the airplane. If you get it to work, e-mail at lsulucas@yahoo.com or reply to this message. I am LDiddy.
