I am totally new to doing repaints, but I am wanting to do a better repaint of the Air Canada A330 from Overland, except I have no idea where to start. Is there a specific program needed? The reason i want to repaint that aircraft is because the repaint out on the library is blurry whenever I fly the Air Canada A330 textures in the simulator.

Go to the painting FAQ`s on top of this forum.Nr 1, 2 and 3

I was talking about this file in the library: smsa330cgfaf.zipanyways, thanks for the guide.

HiI just downloaded smsa330cgfaf.zipThe texturefiles within this download are NOT saved with mip-maps, so answer 7 has no clue for this one.The explanation why these textures show blurry in the sim lies in poor the quality of the textures.Leen de Jager

Hey, i finally fixed the textures up, i opened them up in DXTBmp and replaced the fuselage files when i saved without "include mip-maps" and it worked! by the way, should i put up the fix for this file? anyways, blurries are gone and the air canada A330 has never looked better.

The texturefiles within this download are NOT saved with mip-maps, I wrote.So, what you are saying ?????Saving tham AGAIN without bitmaps does not work.???The fuselage textures in the zipfile are 1025Kb wich means they are without mips.With mips they should be 1366Kb.Leen

perhaps my explanation did not work, however, the pictures provided will:

Your explanation is clear enough.I am ,however,afraid you are totally missing my point.You told me you saved the files without mipmaps.I was just telling you ,saving these files without mipmaps is useless because the textures in the zipfile you downloaded ARE saved without mips already.I downloaded the zipfile myself and concluded the files being saved without mips by the maker of the download.So telling you saved them without mips and that cured the problem is nonsense.The problem may have disappeared , why?? thats still a mistery to me.LeenPSPlease DO NOT publish a "fix" for the upload.There is nothing to be fixed in the first place.Second ( and in fact most vital!!): Never publish a fix for something somebody-else created.It`s his creation and reworking and republishing his work at AVSIM or somewhere-else is not allowed without his permission.

Leen,Again, I dont know why it might be still a mystery as to how the problem disappeared, but all I did was follow what the Paint FAQ's had to say, and yes all I did was open the fuselage textures up in DXTBmp, re-save them with the "mip-maps include when saving" box unchecked, and i have no more blurries. Also, I did not add this before, but i did save them as DXT 3 as well, so maybe that was why it made them disappear. I really have no other solution.

I am afraid this will stay an unsolved mistery .Nevertheless the problem is gone .RegardsLeen
