Paint Help for Photoshop Dummy:-)

[Ryan Beard 0]

Hello Everyone, Wow, my first post!! Been a customer for years, Loving the new NGX!! I recently got a copy of Photoshop CS5 and I am completely deficient but learning. I do understand layering and I successfully painted the Legacy NG version with Fireworks MX2004. I am trying to start by just making a plain white NGX. I succeeded in compiling the plane in FSX(creating the .dds files) and my daytime textures are showing, but having a problem with the tail, wings and engines' night textures...it's ugly. When turning on the respective lights(wing, logo), It looks as though it turns on the daytime textures instead of the "light maps" as seen in the alpha channel layers. Could someone see from my attachments and see what I am doing wrong? Thanks, in advance!!! And thanks for this wonderful plane!!!!Best Regards, Ryan B.KJAN

Don't know. Did you open the exported DDS to see if everything is correct there, including alpha channels?
