Hello there i need your help  :sad:  :sad:  

 

   its first time painting pmdg aircraft i have seen many videos on how to paint and I did exactly the steps but i have a problem when

putting the texture on the aircraft   i seee the bottom of the aircraft at the right and windows at the bottom and here is the picture                       http://prntscr.com/8zjez5  i need help please 

 

Best regards

Most likely you are using DDS files.

 

During the process they might have been vertically flipped.

 

When you open a DDS file in your paintingprogram it should show up upside down.

 

I am confident a vertical flip will do the trick.

Solved thank you so much  :smile:

 

but still have a small problem the texture dont look that nice as i see it on dxtbmp  when i paint it looks great but when i see it on  the aircraft looks a bit foged 

 

thank you so much for your help i apreciate that 

 

Best regards  :smile:

When a paint looks good on the texturesheet and does not show up properly on the aircraft, it might be due to mipmapping.

Try saving the file again without mipmapping.
