What's wrong here?

Funny thing happens when I turn on the lights on my new repaint:

The fuselage glows. Turn them off and it goes away.

I don't recall having to deal with night textures as they did not come with the paint kit.

Thoughts?

This is the HTAI C90 isn't it?

If so check for a file named C90_L.bmp.

If it's not in the texture folder for that variant, look for it in your main texture folder.

It is a lightmap for that plane. They typically have _L in the filename.

If you find it, temporarily move it to your desktop and check the sim.

Hope this helps,
Joe

Fixed the problem. It's the fuselage_l file.

Turns out it was 1.33MB, whereas the one in the main texture was 65.0 KB. Probably set up wrong when I first worked with alpha channels.

Copied it and overwrote the one in my repaint. No more glow in the dark :o

Thanks for your help, Joe!
