I tried to edit the graphics for the No. 4 Ferrari by putting my name on the sides, but somehow it doesn't seem to work as the whole car now looks very strange (completely displaced texture). Is there someone who knows how to do it right? Thanks in advance... Mea***er

You'll have to save the bmp with the nose up. You probably rotated it in another direction. Hans van Dam Mea***er heeft geschreven in bericht
says... You have to covert the BMP to 24-bit, and edit it. You then have the option of saving it as a 24-bit image or converting it back to the original 4-bit image. The 24-bit retains all of the shading that was added, but can potentially slow down the sim if you do it to too many of the cars. Converting it back to 4-bit, you stand a chance of loosing much of the shading/anti-aliasing you got when you were editing it as a 24-bit image. I use Photoshop to edit mine, as it handles the conversion back to 4-bit better than Paint Shop Pro does. -- ========================================================= John Simmons - Redneck Techno-Biker (Zerex12) http://www.members.home.net/jms1/index.html John Simmons - Barbarian Diecast Collector http://members.home.net/jsimm/diecast_index.html If you want to send me email, go to either of the URL's shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================
