Re-Skin my TSR.2

[Firebar]

with my tsr2 model the colours are wrong, the tail flash has been reversed, i have tried using DTXBmp to edit this and so far so good, however when i dwap this new file name for the old one next time i try to load the file the visual model cannont be displayed. does anyone know what i am doing wrong, could it be that DTXBmp saves as DDS files not the origonal file types or is my editingcorrupting the .mdl file

It's usually best to use the same texture format as the original texture. DXTBmp will display the format when you open a texture & can also save out in all FS Extended BMP formats. Click File/Save As/Extended Bitmap & select the desired format from the "Save as type" options. I don't how this could affect the MDL unless you tried editing it. There should be no need to change the texture name.

PS. Tell me where I can download this aircraft so I can check it out for you.

it is the model through your link, it was the only one i found with textures that worked. do you know of any way to save as the af textures?ill look myself but the correct stuff is hard to find amongst the junk.

i have found a .af to bmp converter, mabey this'll work.

its http://www.simviation.com/fsdesign_aa99.htm on this page and is "AF to BMP Texture Converter."

You can do this with DXTBmp. Follow these instructions carefully.

Open Tsr_____.5AF in DXTBmp & send it to your paint program.
Repaint it as necessary, then save it & reload it into DXTBmp.
Now in DXTBmp click Image/Flip Image. Click File/Save As/Extended Bitmap & save it in Extended 256 colour format.
The saved file will be named Tsr_____.BMP
Find the file & manually rename it back to Tsr_____.5AF (You will have to move or delete the original file first.)
Now try it in CFS2.

Cheers ill give it a go however the texture converter works fine but takes quite a bit of time to use.
