737-800 Painting Problem

Featured Replies

Hi guys,I am working on a new livery for my airline, and i am about to go nuts. The last piece i want to paint is the front wheel cover. I use DXTBmp to convert the original texture to bmp, edit with Photoshop and reconvert it with DXTBmp again to extended textures. But it never shows in FS. When I apply the same procedure to 737-700 instead of 777-800, i can paint the texture and it shows in FS. I also tried to copy the working texture from 737 and paste it to 738, but i was not successful.Please help me keep my sanity.

Hi Bogac (Is that your name? or nickname or airport or something? If not your name, sorry.) I don't have this aircraft or use FS9 anymore, but have done a few liveries for FS9 and the only thing I can think of, is either the original file is still present but under a different format (for me this was usually the case) or it is just named wrong.For example, I create my own pilots a couple nights ago so it was me flying and a friend as copilot. Since the original format was .bmp DXT5 and I converted it to a format of .dds, it wrote my file to the directory fine. However, since the files were the same name but different formats there was never a conflict visible but FS still chose to use the .bmp before my .dds. Does that make sense? I had to remove the .bmp then all was good. I think the door cover is on the left and right fuse file, correct? It may be an Alpha Channel issue. Again, I'm not too familiar (or at all) with this paintkit or aircraft, but if the writing you want to be seen is say; under the aircraft, you will need to add white or grey to the alpha channel for that area to show it. This is often seen when doing under the nose art on the MD-11.Maybe you can send me your file and I can show you what I mean.

Dear Dan,Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes, my name is Bogac Raised%20Eyebrow.gifAfter trying for 6-7 hours, it turned out to be my dumbness. The required pieces were on one of the .psd files, but sadly i didn't saw them for that period of time. When I thought i can't find some textures at the .psd files, I thought i should check the other files. I found them, but obviously there were the wrong ones, and therefore it wasn't possible to change them. At the end, i rechecked the .psd files and found what i what was looking for.Thanks once again for your attention.4242328.jpg

That's great news and that's an awesome paint you got there. It didn't mean to sound insulting about the name haha, I just like to reply to people directly and thought it might have read wrong if it wasn't. Hopefully you'll share that sweet paint with us by uploading it to the library, makes me wish I had the FS9 737 :(
