PA28 Warrior Paintkit DDS issue

oscardelta59

Hi,

I'm working on a livery for the PA28 Warrior II, using GIMP 2.10.30.

The issue is when dds file is loaded in MSFS : I only get pink and purple squares.

I've tried all options on dds export; no luck. Is there a tutorial ? I've googled for it, and didn't find what i needed.

Regards,
Oliver.

@oscardelta59 I used "DC3 / DXT5" for the compression. Also, be sure to check layout.json to make sure the file size is correct.

@N293WK : Thanks for your help.

DDS files with BC3/DTX5 are looking ok. I don't have DC3/DTX5 (typo i guess ?).

Layout.json : livery is declared , and sizes of dds files are ok.

However, it's still not good.

What about this file : "WARRIOR_EXT01_ALBEDO.PNG.DDS.json"

and the item "SourceFileDate" ?

{"Version":2,"SourceFileDate":132693690194120933,"Flags":["FL_BITMAP_COMPRESSION","FL_BITMAP_MIPMAP"]}

I've just used MSFS Layout Generator; json files are ok.

Still not working ...

It's working now ! Thanks !

The last issue was a faulty extension in file name.

@oscardelta59 Hi. I am not sure if you will get this message, but I will try.
You mentioned in your last message, that you found an issue with the extension in a file name.
As I am experiencing exactly the same issues as you mention, could you specify which file name you corrected, that allowed you to see your livery?
Thank you!
