Need some help

Postby flyguy1976 » Sat Feb 05, 2005 2:26 am

I'm starting on my first repaint I've read through all the tutorials, forums and everything else on this site and still couldn't find the answer to my problem. I've repainted a dassault falcon 7x in ficticious theme, for the harley lovers out there, I'm using m$ paint and pixia. I've done all the converting and stuff through dtxbmp and renamed the files exactly. when I load the paint scheeme and plane in ACOF I get part of the paint job, it alternates between tail section and fuselage when I try and see what the problem is, the rest of the plane is just white. What am I doing wrong, or is there something I can do to fix this. Saving the files through dtxbmp as 32 bit extended. thanks

Have you tried saving the files in the format that they originally came in?

Most of the time it's DXT-3, but I don't think saving them as 32 Bit would cause the problem, but give it a try anyway and see if that doesn't fix it :)
