I downloaded and installed the V-Jet texture. Everything is working except for one reason:
The landing gear doors and the rear cargo door are transparent. I have other two Varig liveries with the same problem. I installed the V-Jet using the ACE and the Varig liveries by adding them on the aircraft.cfg.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I searched here on the forum and at the Captain Sim Costumer Support about it, but I didn't find anything (English is not my native language, maybe I searched with wrong terms).
Any help would be appreciaded. |
I just looked at mine and it is the same!
I have fixed it now.
When I converted the BMP to DDS using DXT1 Bitmap Manipulator, I was following the instructions in the cs707_manual1.pdf:
HOW TO CONVERT LEGENDARY 707 (FS9) LIVERIES?
We advisedly used Legendary 707 exterior textures layout on the 707 Captain to provide maximum of
compatibility with the Legendary 707 free liveries.
The following steps will help you to convert and add the Legendary 707 free liveries to the 707 Captain:
1. Take bmp files b1, b2, b5, b6 from any Legendary 707 free livery zip.
2. Create new texture.yournewliveryname subfolder in ...\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B707-300 and copy the
b1, b2, b5, b6 files there.
3. Create and copy 256x128 thumbnail.jpg into the same subfolder.
4. Convert the b1,b2,b5,b6 bmps into DDS as follows:
b707_b1_t.dds - DXT3 WITH ALFA
b707_b2_t.dds - DXT3 WITH ALFA
b707_b5_t.dds - DXT1 NO ALFA
b707_b6_t.dds - DXT1 NO ALFA
5. Add new [fltsim.XX] section to aircraft.cfg
See how is says to convert the b1 & b2 to DXT3 WITH ALPHA? Well I did that.
I converted them to DXT1 NO ALPHA this time, and they look fine. The orange on the textures is now red!
So remove the first one, download the the one in the link below, then add it using ACE.
It should be fine this time! :D ;D |
Hi Markoz Everything is perfect now. I apologize for having bothered you, but I needed to know if I was missing something. Good flights, mate.
