FSX/Vista/Repainting

Postby OVERLORD_CHRIS » Mon Mar 10, 2008 8:11 pm

Has or does any one have any tips for repainting FSX planes while using Vista? Or is there a tutorial for painting in Vista?

I was getting help when I was using Xp, but ever since my computer crash I have been using Vista and a lot of things are different.

I wouldnt thinks so, same rules apply you need DXTBMP and a editor other than that idk,

(just be sure you can mess with your flight sim files)

Let me remember how to do this..........ok you need DXTBMP and run EVERYTHING using Run As Admin. umm....
To show hidden folders go to Computer....click organize...then click Folder and Search Options....click on the "View" tab....scroll down and fill in the bubble with "Show hidden files and folders" next to it. Done. Vista is similar to XP in repainting...
