If anyone has any ideas on where I can find a tutorial to create paints for the MD 11. The image below is how far I've gotten but the paint is still messed up in FSX. I have 1 created my livery, 2. loaded the template, 3. cut and pasted the livery to the template after flattening the main image and using multiply to hover over and select appropriatly. I then save it as a BMP and use DXTBMP to transfer it to a DDS, the problem is when I load it in FSX all the textures are on the bottom of the wings and the side is all messed up, any ideas?

Dan's Tutorial is flawless :) Helped me a lot. And yes, this forum is great and by far the forum where i'm hitting F5 the most ;)

When it's in DXTBMP, flip the entire image vertically, then save. - Good to go. :-D
