as stated above.

Saved as DXT5.
All other files.
Cessna sky hawk default.
My own repaint
Not downloaded. Have made them show before but must be forgetting something.

What are the steps to making them show. It turns up in aircraft selection but can only see cockpit, in game can see only grey/orange.
Hope this isn't too hard too understand.

The texture= line in the aircraft.cfg line needs to be corosponding with the correct repaint folder?

yeah, I always forget to do something like that- renumbering the [fltsim.x] or not pointing texture= to the correct folder, or not renaming the title to something unique.

I had already done that and still nothing shows.

Yeah, a frequent mistake I make is copying a block of [fltsim.xx] for a new repaint and then forgetting to change the title= line

I don't think you understand me. I CAN chose the aircraft but no textures come up. The texture line is correct as is the fltsimx. The textures are saved As DXT5.

So you have a texture problem.
You could try restoring the ALPHA channel, or otherwise try saving as DXT3 and see if it shows.

AFAIR FS9 is not working with DXT5 repaints. I can't be wrong, since I'm not a repainter, and have not read enough to know what's working there and not.

In FSX I don't know since I don't even have FSX.

How do you restore alpha channel?

Could some please list the steps in how to save a repaint and what should be include in texture.

I have done a repaint before but can't remember all the steps. I used jimmy's guides (aircraft sticky) but they don't tell you where to save and what to include

Make sure it is saved as 32bit not 16 which is required for repainting to do this use something like DXTBmp

After another complete redo of the plane it will not even load(the cessna repaint)


I have always saved in 32bit after working out it makes thing clear



Sorry if the posts seem "snappy" they are not intended to be. Just my frustration leaking through

maximum texture size is 1024x1024 ?

what are the "options" needed in dxtbmp?

I think i'm doing something wrong in there

Guess i'm gonna have to try Friday NOTAM without my repaint:(

Am i going to have to talk toady? It might determine if i join or not
