Gentlemen,Could someone tell me why my fancy new logo that I just added to my airplane presents out of focus? It's the default Beaver. I converted the DDS files with DXTBmp and edited them with Photoshop. The result looks fuzzy;The logo was created in Photoshop and looks fine as a JPEG. I did have to resize it to make it fit on the airplane, it was too big. Here's what I did, maybe you can spot what I missed. I opened the DDS texture file from the Beaver with DXTBump, flipped it and sent it to Photoshop7. The .bmp file has 1024 textures at 72 pixels/inch. I then saved the .bmp file as a .psd file, so I could add layers. I opened my logo file which was a flattened .jpg file of 1024 pixels with a size of 13cm x 8cm at a resolution of 300 pixels/inch. (118 px/cm)I selected my logo and dragged it to the textures and resized it using the Edit function in Photoshop. I saved the file and flattened it and then saved it as a 24 bit .bmp file again. I went back to DXTBump and reloaded the file, flipped it back and saved it as a DDS5 file. It appeared fine when I looked at it in the DXTBump window, but it was pretty small to see accurately. I am very new at this and perhaps I have missed the obvious so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks up front.Best to all,Fritz

I'm in!Cheers,Fritz

Yes, a huge thank you to all of you guys. So happy that someone knows how to do FDE's, Caranado doesn't seem capable. Thanks again!Cheers,Fritz

Jerry,Look here; http://library.avsim...+185&CatID=root under "Cessna 185 panel modification".Cheers,Fritz

I'm glad that all the first impressions of the Caravan are so good, especially the FDE's. But frankly, I'm disappointed that there is no cargo version. I think I'll wait and see if there will be another package for it, like the 185 Bush models. But it's hard to resist...Cheers,Fritz

The Noorduyn Norseman. Cheers,Fritz

Turns out that you have to purchase the stuff first and then they send you a download link. With the download link they include another link to register and get access to the support forum. At Can$ 45 for the base pack and another Can$ 25 for the smaller airports, I guess I'll wait a bit.Cheers,Fritz

G'day,Does anyone know anything about these guys? The stuff looks outstanding but I can't find much about them. There doesn't seem to be a way to see their forum, (if they even have one), and there is no way to register, that I can find. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this really does seem like excellent stuff but the secrecy is a little strange and I can find no reviews or advertising. Considering that it's fairly expensive payware scenery, it does seem odd. Thanks up front.Here is the link; http://www.simaddons.com/pages/simaddons_news.htmBe of good cheer,Fritz

Many thanks, Gunnar.Beautiful stuff!Best,Fritz

Outstanding, Gunnar. Will they be available soon?Cheers,Fritz

Interesting. Thanks, Raymar.Cheers,Fritz

Great news!Thanks very much.Cheers,Fritz

Hey Sky,Any news on the Project 206?Best,Fritz

Gunnar,Yes, thanks, my eyes were playing tricks, (or it's time for new glasses!)Thanks again for the paints.Cheers,Fritz

Beautiful stuff!! Many thanks.Cheers,FritzP.S. Sky, did you remove the ventral fin from your aircraft? How do you do that? Best, F

Sky,Real spiffy! I want one.Cheers,Fritz

Very, very nice!! Gotta have it.Cheers,Fritz

It's out!! On the Carenado site $18.95Cheers,Fritz

Thank you, Sky. :( Best,Fritz

Fair enough, but Sibwings should show good faith immediatly with a public acknowledgement of error. Otherwise pulling the threads will seem like some kind of cover-up.Best,Fritz

Where, oh, where did you find those shots? Do you have a address for Ed Truthan? That is the best snow I have seen so far for FSX. I know he did some for CoF, but I have been waiting for ages for good snow. Thanks for posting this, Sky.Wait 'till Glenn sees this! He'll probably be willing to do anything for it. (welllll, almost anything... :( )Cheers,Fritz

You are on a roll, man. I can see I'll have to swop my gauges again. :( Fritz

Sky,That is absolutly fantastic!! Wow! I can't wait. Really, really fine work. :( Best,Fritz

Oh, that is beautiful! Bravo. That individual is a blight on our community, my view.Cheers,Fritz

G'day,I am using the latest FDE's from Bernt and Glenn for the 185 and try as I might I can not get it to ice up. What altitude were you at? Maybe it's a question of the weather engine? I am using REX for a weather engine and I have tried it with the default "real weather" in FSX and nothing happens. I have all the options enabled vis
