December 12, 200916 yr Hello peoples, I am trying to create some repaints for FS9 users and unfortunatley do not have FS9 to test. I have done several FSX repaints and am very familliar with using the kits themselves but the read me's instructions have left me with a couple simple questions.1.) It is stated in the Read Me that "ImageTool, found in the FSX Scenery SDK, must be used to convert your Photoshop files into the required FS9 format." Is the Required Format a .bmp? (all other steps are finished).2.) With FSX repaints and prior to saving, the files need to be flipped Vertically, is this also needed to do with FS9?Thanks for sheddin some light on this! i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier

December 18, 200916 yr Author 1) BMP is the only format that FS9 recognizes, so yes2) No need to flip images for FS9Thanks Vin, I've got it working. The only problem is not having fs9 to test them out and of course only working with one beta assistant. I think I'll just get fs9 this weekend to test my liveries. Not having fs9 or ever creating an fs9 paint was making me think the mention DXT3 format was dds, and now I've seen that bmp has this format as well. I downloaded DXTBmp and that helped me see the light.Thanks again, i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier
