Help with CLS repaint

[kace]

I tried repainting the cls psd which was included in their pintkits. after finishing up. i tried to load it up in FS2004. but when it does load. the textures become blurry even though its resolution is 1024*1024. I first saved it as a bmp in photoshop, then resaved it as as a dxt3 bmp using dxtbmp

Try saving with mips then again without. Some textures though seem to blur no matter what I do - I've never got to the bottom of it.

When you have the aircraft loaded in FS (sometimes) if you zoom in then out again the paint clears, but as Martin above said, some seem to blur no matter what.

I have found a solution, that although it might not be the "best" one, is one that *always* works.

 

The problem - too many pixels and/or too many colours.

Solution - either reduce the pixels (to 512 X 512); or reduce the colours (go to 256 colours), or both.

 

I have never tried the with/without mips method so won't comment.
