new to repainting

I went through a tutorial with projectopensky and successfully created a new textures, but when I added these new textures to microsoft boeing 747-400 I did not see the new textures just a blank 747. I did revise the cfg file by adding texture 4 and other revisions to it but it does not work. Does anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Did you resave as extended bitmap using DXTBMP program or similar.

Unless they are extended bitmaps FS can't read them.

I did save these as extended bitmap with DXTBMP but it still didnt work. I think maybe you need the same blanks that Microsoft use but im not sure.

The Posky tutorial is tailored for one or several of the Posky aircraft -- check back, at the beginning of the tutorial it should tell you which model(s) to download.
The textures won't be compatible with the default 747s.
