I have recenlty downloaded the repaint kits for the A340 -200s and -300s made by Project Opensky.
So far, their website has been unable to successfully register me to use their forums; so I can't post this issue there. I found, however, then next best place. :)
When I downloaded the repaint kits for these aircraft, I could tell instantly that I may have problems with them: They are all PSD files.
I don't know what a PSD is nor do I have any idea how to paint one; I have tried and the aircraft continues to show up as a black model; nothing else.
I have searched avsim, flightsim, youtube, and POSKY themselves to find something about PSDs that would be of remote use. I found nothing. Tutorials do not explain it either.
I therefore am asking, after actually looking for an answer on my own first and finding nothing, that someone please inform me what to do with these things.
1) WHAT IS A PSD?!
2) How would I paint one and save it to get it to show up in FSX?
3) Why are they being used instead of typical repaint files?
4) Any other interesting/useful/important things I should know about PSD files?
INFO: MY PROGRAMS:
-FSX Standard with SP1
-Paint.NET
-DXTbmp
I greatly appreciate any and all help that can be provided; like I said, I've been waiting for months and months to get a confirmation email from POSKY and I am tired of not being able to use their forums to deal with my problems related to their products.
I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have that would help you answer mine; please let me know.
Thanks for your help!!!
