February 28, 201412 yr Author Yep, you have it right. :good: Open with DXTBMP, send to editor (Paint.net or other), save from editor as 24 bit bmp, convert to DXT with Imagetool. Believe me Richard, I am well aware what a big job it can become :shok: Exactly, there are all these steps you need to go through that makes me wish there was a way to script it somehow like I mentioned before but since there are several different tools you need to use and also the steps can be a bit different each time (most of the times you need to resize the night texture but not always for example) this makes it very hard to script in a good way. So...guess you just have to bite into the sour apple. However I'm very happy there at least is a way to fix it and I'm very grateful you were kind and showed me how it's done!
March 23, 201412 yr Commercial Member If you google fs8 prop textures fsx and hunt around you can find some instructions on how to edit the alpha texture, but the easiest way is just to replace the texture with a prop texture from a fsx model. My FSX Analysis Blog
March 23, 201412 yr Author Thanks, then I guess I'll try replacing the prop texture with one from a FSX SP2 model because I did find some of those instructions you mention but I wasn't able to come up with a good result.
March 23, 201412 yr Author Just tried using the prop texture from the default FSX Beech King Air 350 and although the result was not as good as seen on the original Beech King Air 350 at least it was a major improvement over the default AT72 prop texture seen in the screenshot above. When I tried this I simply copied the prop texture over from the Beech King Air 350 texture folder to the AT72 folder and renamed it to match the original file name and I also changed the extension from dds to bmp to match the original extension.
February 21, 201511 yr Hey guys; Just wondering the progress of this amazing work. It seems the last post was done in end of March, 2014. Thanks for you support. Thiago

February 4, 20179 yr Commercial Member Well the latest fixer has the V2 transparency and lighting options which handle most cases ok - I don't know specifically for IVAO. Here is a post about woai which are similar models I think. http://www.avsim.com/topic/473871-dx10-fixer-for-woai/?hl=%2Bivao My FSX Analysis Blog
