Qballbandit Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Good evening, If there are members out there using this plane in FS9 (or have used it in the past), do you know if Simon Smeiman is still active in the community? I love his plane, and would enjoy using it to the fullest, but it's a demo, and needs a "donation" of $8 bucks to remove the pink image in the planes cockpit views - 2D & 3D. So many years have passed I would bet I won't have any luck making contact with him, though I've tried, so figured I'd ask here. He really did a very nice job on the plane. Thanks very much, Neil :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Nice aircraft! If he's not answering his email, then I would guess there is no way to make the donation to him and get the replacement .bmp for the banner. bummer!

tiger1962 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 FSAddon's Super Cub is well worth consideration, it's by the same developer: http://secure.simmarket.com/fsaddon-piper-super-cub.phtml Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

Qballbandit Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Reasonably priced, and great looking plane - inside and out. I may indulge myself! Thanks for the link, tiger. :) Neil :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avechelice Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Hello, Problem will be solved if you make transparent the "BANNER.bmp" in the texture folder Check you notification box Regards.http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/a/bye.gif If you gave a couple of monkeys a box of ballpoints, enough paper, and enough time, they'd eventually finish up writing the complete works of Shakespeare :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31448 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I know this is a real old thread, but did you figure out how to make the BANNER.bmp transparent? I'vr tried everything and can't so it. It just turns white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31448 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hmm... let me ponder that for a while. Nope, still not transparent Zippy. I used Gimp to try to work this out, but no joy so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hmm... let me ponder that for a while. Nope, still not transparent Zippy. I used Gimp to try to work this out, but no joy so far. I used DTXbmp and Photoshop as the editor. Double clicked on the alpha, which brought up the image in Photoshop and used a paintbrush to color it solid black. Saved it as banner.bmp. put that into the texture folder and all is good! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Just to clarify, "solid black" with RGB values of 0,0,0 is transparent in the sim. All three values must be 0.

mrzippy Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'm totally not good on the color editing. I have been fooling around trying either .bmp or .dds glass textures.

tiger1962 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) How does one ascertain the RGB values of a bmp Tiger? I'm still getting a black field. You should be able to open a gauge bitmap directly into an image editor such as Paint (which is included in Windows), just right-click on the image icon and select Open With, then choose Paint. Once the image is opened in Paint, select Edit Colors on the top ribbon and check the RGB values as shown below: (Click on the image to enlarge it) Edited January 30, 2020 by tiger1962 Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."
