Hi,Probably very stupid, but how do you create a MASK-IMAGE?I mean the ones that masks e.g. the scales in an attitude-indicator or altimeter etc.When i look at a mask-image in MS-paint i don't see anything, but when i take an other color, the mask doesn't work anymore.I need this info to create my own gaugebitmaps.thanks in advancephjvhhttp://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3dbc3a9471a37f1c.jpg

Hi,For masks you use black color 1.1.1 . I use Paintshop Pro to manipulate the bitmaps.There was a giveaway in the magazine PC-Format of an old version last month. The 0.0.0 black is used for transparency like the windshield. So if the use the pick color tool in PSP you'll see the RGB value of the chosen color.BrgdsEugen
