Am I Missing Something??

#1 Post by garyghostrider »

Hello again...I need another clarification on the use of the Alpha channel with the FAIB B737-200 models in FSX Acceleration...I am not using DXT10 preview,

When I use the standard alpha channel that comes with texture sets made for FSX such as:

I get this in FSX:

Using DXTBmp I changed the Alpha layer thusly:

and then I see this:

I have made this modification in all my FAIB 737-200 models...My question is: is the use of the same alpha texture that is copied from the lightmap.bmp correct or am I missing something...?? Any help appreciated...Thanks!!

You are missing something, you are using the FS9 models in FSX.
