Transparent background to object

[Davejey]

I make a Gif image of a firtree on a transparent background, which works when
pasting it on to any background image; but when I make the required extended
bitmap with DXTBMP and then in EOD make a tree object and use the firtree as
the texture; then in AFW, place the API in my airport, the firtree is there in
every detail, except there is a white rectangle around it. How do I get the
image to retain its transparent background?
Cheers, Davejey

Suprised no one has given you an answer yet! Pure BLACK, that is 0,0,0 in RGB is transparent in FS9. Try that.

Thanks, Ken, for this answer; I know how to do this for graphic images, but it doesn't work when I try the results on EOD trees. OK I will try it again with your idea.
