How about a creating textures for idiots:

Ok guys.....This is pretty much as the title says......
How about someone here who uses PHOTOSHOP. give a step by step instruction tutorial for repainting aircraft......
The reason i ask is because i have tried everything i can think of to get my paints to show up in the sim....But as you can see from the photo below.......I get a grey aircraft with nothing i added......
You dont need to go into polished aluminum looks or anything like that.....Just the basics to help get us started and to the finished product......
Thanks all.....

Hello,

looks like you have the things you added but you have not flipped the texture before exporting it/saving as the .dds file. In photoshop, flip the image vertically and then save, all should work for you

thanks,

If you are using the NVIDIA dds plugin for Photoshop, when you save as a dds you can tick a box that flips the image for you. You also need to tick the box to save with "No Mip maps". This will ensure that you get no blurry textures in game.
