Im having a problem with the format.
DXT3 works fine but it looks very bad and the quality is very low
I tried 32 bit 24 bit 16 bit
they all dont work properly or they dont work at all
how can i make a hight quality repaint? what format dose it need?
thx in advance

edit: well i got 32 bit working but in the FS it looks very shiny as though it was waxed 1000 times in one hour.
any help stil will be great

I use photoshop cs3 extended for the repaint itself and "DXTbmp" for the formating.

Well, Belgeode this is your lucky day.
From this day on your Fleet of "Steeler Air ltd." will see only good days of Wealth, Expantion, full paylaod flights and lots of compelments along the way.
cuz today your fellow GMTK has found a way to make the livery "look good from the back as its good at 90 deg' position".
how did I do that...very simple.
when you save your livery texture with DXTbmp save it as "16 bit 555"
I am sure it will work for you....
thank you everyone and god bless the allie-ship between Israel - and united states Very Happy
