    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"]}

    @oscardelta59

    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!
    Regards,
    Roberto
