Dark textures in FS9

[Alejandro Rhodes]

All due respect, if this is true why don't some of the default aircraft have lightmaps?

Just curious,

This is an old tale my friend,another well known issue ,YES if you are using Black alpha channel with 230,230,230 to make it shine(fuselage or wings) And No Lightmap you could have issues in the night mode  ,I saw this many times,people doesn't know why but this has to be with makemdl9.exe problem ,there are other forums we have discussed this many times.
Anyway there's being a long time ago I quit making aircraft using makemdl9.exe in other words FS9-SDK (maybe something has change) I don't know..

Something is really worrying me Jake,Tell me ,are you using Tools of FSX-SDK for texturing and exporting with makemdl9 instead modeldef.xml tool?

Sorry this is a bit late. I just tried your aircraft from your link & it crashes my FS9. Not sure why.

PS. It works fine without the textures so the problem is there.

Thanks, I noticed it as well. Maybe because I use the DXT3 for the fuselage?
when I am in flight with another plane, and then just change the aircraft to my model, then it shows fine, but when you exit the flight (or game) it also crashes. Thanks for the advice!

Oh I also noticed the right wing's shadows is upside down, but I earlier in this post is the fix already. but I am not too worried about that, going to clone/miror the wings stil a million tmes or so, and then will rectify then!

It's not the fuselage texture, it's the others. I suspect this is because they're an odd size. 1024 x 838 instead of 1024 x 1024.

Mitch tested the model in FSX, and he just changed the wing textures to DXT3, and it worked fine. So i quickly also changed the textures and did a very quick test, and it was better. see  http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaB ... 1256718293

But now I have a new problem:

reply on above....
Thank you, I've updated the model with the wing shadow problem, engines, ect, and will adjust the textures and upload a new beta model tomorrow (maybe tonight) . I will notify when I did so!

As always Thankfull!
