Re: Bristol Beaufighter repaint
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback But in all fairness i used Dave's superb painkit and there wasn't very much to do. This awesome bird distracted me from my druine and seeing that kind of quality i don't know if i should be demoralized or inspired ahh..perhaps with "some" more practice...
Anyhow, here in the fsx glory:

This does highlight the true superiority of FSX over FS9 doesn't it (and this from a die hard FS9 disciple). Pity it had to include so much cr@p but look hard enough.. and have the equipment to run it.. well, you end up with shots like this ;-)

Re: Bristol Beaufighter repaint
Great work again Henry. I was wondering which tool(s) you used to save the dds files as I am doing a repaint of the SAAF Beau and with DXTBmp, saving them as DDS then DXT5 without MIPS. But the textures don't show, I just get the black model colour. Did you maybe use the MS imagetool? What am I doing wrong? Please any help will save my hair being pulled out ;-) !
Great repaint in the desert colours of the IAF.

This is how i did: Just painted the textures, flattened the image and saved it as beau_fusxx.psd , opened it in imagetool and saved it as beau_fus.dds. Thats all
There are other ways to do it, but its just this way i have made as a routine

Re: Bristol Beaufighter repaint
If you are using Photoshop (I assume you are as you saved the file as a .psd) did you know there is a plug-in available from Nvidia that will allow you to save and open DDS files directly from within Photoshop? I use it in PS7 and it works very well and saves you the step of having to open the file in another application.
The plug-in can be found here..... http://developer.nvidia.com/object/phot ... ugins.html
