Sizing up the paint kit.....

You need to pull it through the .psd through a program that's in the sdk. and convert to a (what ever the files are called I can't remember!) Least That's how I learnt to do it, can't remember what it's called am away from PC, I'll check later, unless someone beats me to it.

If you're using photoshop, just download and install the nVidia DDS tools.

If not, you can use imagetool

Question for the pro painters.

 

I know that the PMDG_747v2_NNumber.dds places the Reg/Selcal details on the flightdeck but what is the purpose of the PMDG_747v2_NNumber_Black.dds?

 

Thanks ...

[Lairyliam 17]

I Think, (and im a noob painter), That its this..... 


 

[jackcford 1]

Indeed it injects the reg into the texture.vccommon\PMDG_747v2_Certificates.dds file

 

Many thanks

Hey John...the plugin works perfectly in Paintshop as well...totally transformed how I manage the transition from masters to final texture maps...could not paint without it now. :wink:

Only file I can't repaint is the Rego on the PMDG_747v2_NNumber.dds file. I open it with Photoshop and it plain grey! Ant tips?

That file is build on alpha channels. You need to go into the channels tab and select alpha

What's the font for the certificate of aircraft registration. Already figured out the font for the SELCAL texture.

How do you edit the PMDG_747v2_Binders.dds   ? So I can change the airline logo on the manuals?
