April 24, 201214 yr Hello, Just im soon finish with painting a aircraft to PMDG NGX. But have som problems with the lights on the tail an engine.
April 24, 201214 yr I could be mistaken, but it sounds like you need to rectify some of your alpha layers. Thanks Matthew T Gardiner
April 25, 201214 yr I have the same problem with a 747 when I repaint it. What do u mean about the alpha layers Regards Chris
April 25, 201214 yr Textures generally consist of three colour channels Red, Green and Blue, plus additional channels which control other effects , which are called alpha channels, they typically control transparency on the main texture, by reading the 256 levels of grayscale as different levels of transparency. There are also other image files which control bump mapping and stuff like that, and all of them need to be sorted out if a repaint is to work correctly. You may have a remnant from another paint job in there, or may possibly have saved the texture in a format which lost the alpha channel or some such.
