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.

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 ...

Jack Ford

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

 

Many thanks

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

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

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