Aircraft Graphic Problem

Post by eli »

Added USCG aircraft to NAS Corpus Christi. Some of the helocopters show up OK but others show up without any skin. I've had this problem before at another airfield and ended up deleating that modified AFCAD and making a new one. I don't want to have to do that here as I have the MAIW Corpus Christi package installed and don't want to loose it (or try to modify it any more than adding the parking spaces I have added/modified.) Any suggestions on what causes this?

I suppose this is caused by a black alpha channel that makes the texture transparent.
Open the helicopter textures using DXTBmp and check the alpha channels (top right corner).
When the alpha channel is black, invert it (main menu --> alpha --> invert alpha) and save the texture again.
