	Hey I just tried to view Main02.dds and I flipped the texture and near the rear of the fuselage the MARINES and the text next to it came out upside down... What am I doing wrong??

	You need to flip the image VERTICALLY. Not horizontally. Which is what it looks like you have done. This only applies to the DDS formatted textures and not BMP ones. So create your livery in BMP so everything looks normal when you are creating it. Then use a program like DXTBmp.exe to flip the Image and Alpha (if it has an Alpha), then save as a DDS DXT3 or DDS DXT5. That should sort it out. Mark

	I use dxt bmp and it only gives a option to flip the image Horizontal not vertical. I also tried flipping it with alpha and that didnt work at all..Now when I do them in Photoshop do I need to flip the canvas or anything..This shouldnt be that hard there is other paint jobs of the cs f-18 why am I having such a hard time with this.

	No, there should be along the bottom starting at the far right a row of icons. �Starting on the right working left, a magnifying glass, LEFT/RIGHT arrow (horizontal flip), and finally UP/DOWN arrow (vertical flip). �I am using v.4.00.96 � By the way both flip options flip the Alpha channel as well, by default. You want this. Hope this helps.

	Okay I updated to 4.00.96 and went to the bars at the lower left ..the up and up/down (vertical bar) and clicked it.. Still. Doing the same thing. Can I send you the bmp image have you take a look. This is getting starting to piss me off.

Mine flips it the same. DXTBmp only gives an option to FLIP or MIRROR. The reason I'm calling it "flipping it vertically" is because if you flip an image vertically in MSPaint, it flips it in the same way that DXTBmp flips the image. So I assume it is vertically. Also. MSPaint flips horizontally in the same way that DXTBmp mirrors the image. Quote: oKAY THERE... I fixed it so you cant even see that old text anymore.. And I fixed the MARINES to be going in the right direction. The word SENIRAM (MARINES) is still like looking at it in a mirror. And the letters DT are mirrored as well. I would say it isn't fixed yet. Mark
