February 4, 201511 yr You can use DXTBmp to send the alpha to your editor, make changes, save, then go back to DXTBmp, and "reload after edit".
February 4, 201511 yr Author I've downloaded a DDS import tool for GIMP, so that isn't the problem, rather how to use GIMP to edit the alpha in the first place. After playing around with it, I've figured it out (in GIMP, use layer masking and then layer to alpha - then right click and select edit and show alpha, edit it using tools, then apply back).

February 5, 201511 yr Author Okay, just need to fix up a couple of things, mostly on the winglets and the registration specular reflection. Need to correct that blue metallic colour too. I did try to edit the alpha but wasn't too happy with the result - found I had better luck adding metallic flakes into the specular reflections, as per below (although imgur might have killed the quality of the picture): Shuai Li
February 12, 201511 yr Author I'll probably stick all my PC12 repaints WIP into this thread. Next up will be the Finnish air force paint request as it looks pretty easy. Hopefully in a week it'll be done. Shuai Li

Could I switch my request from Finnish Air Force to a private charter JetFly, LX-JFK It's also not that complex of a paint
February 12, 201511 yr Does anyone know of a viewer that one could look at a paint with. My son is painting some Careando aircraft in a virtual airline scheme in his spear time but does not have FSX installed. Just using the white aircraft file I sent him and using DXTBmp and Photoshop. Right now he is painting and then send it to me. I add it to FSX and take a screen shot and mail back to me with changes to make. Not good way to do it. He doesn't want to load up FSX. Any helpwould be appriciated. Thank Dick
February 13, 201511 yr Author I tried MCX (model converter x) and it seems to work okay as a model viewer although there's issues with the lighting and gear bay textures being screwed up. Your son will need the .mdl and aircraft.Cfg files though I believe, set up in the right folders. Shuai Li
February 15, 201511 yr Has anyone done a Surf Air livery? I'd really like a Surf Air livery as well. AMD Ryzen R9 9950X3D | Asus Astral RTX 5080 OC | 32 GB DDR5 6000 CL30 | 3440x1440 G-Sync | Logitech Pro Throttles Rudder Yoke Panels | Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS | TrackIR 5 | Oculus Rift S
February 15, 201511 yr Author Ok. LX-JFK, then N806SA (or preferred alternative?) will be the next two. Shuai Li
