Black tail after repaint

Post by Areablue » 09 Jun 2012, 04:27

Just completed a Tiger Airways Australia repaint of the A321 using the Pafs painkit. Saved textures in DXT5 dds format for FSX. When loaded into FSX the fuselage textures are perfect but the tail/tailplane are black. Tried saving them in extended BMP 32 bit and DXT3 texture but didn't fix the problem. Anyone have any solutions please.

hi Areablue,

what kind of painting program do you use for the paint job? Make sure you save your tail as 24-bit bitmap in your painting program before saving it as DXT5 or BMP 32 bit. I got the very same problem when starting with repainting jobs, while I'm using Photoshop CS3.
