Repaint problems

[wildmanfiveone]

Im trying to repaint the Nemeth Designs BO-105 but every time i add the files to the texture folder and open fsx to load the aircraft i get this...

Wonder if you're missing other default texture files? just to be sure maybe copy all files from an existing texture into your new folder without overwriting your new files.

A licorish allsort .. nah serious .. as Dean said , another thing is saving the file in the correct format , using DXTBmp will tell you the the file type to save it as and also make sure the file is reverse to the side your painting .

A good test is paint your model with a logo for example on the cargo hatch and one side only save it exactly the same format you opened the file with .. this will determine how you are to approach the paint .

Just tried it using DXTbmp and this happens

I don't no the helio paint plan and if you are using a paint kit that could confuse you more , you are getting results but all the wrong way around ... again simply paint a panel and from that build on it .

Ive got it working now but the colours come out really pale. Ideas?

[Ian Warren]

I guessing your using GIMP? .. should not be any reason why you cannot adjust textures to suit .
