You might even want a larger texture.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I did rescale in the gimp to 1024x1024. <snip>

If not check to make sure your opacity isn't zero, or your select feathering isn't on and a huge value, or something silly like that.

Finally discovered that the bucket fill tool in gimp 2.2 is installed with the options set fairly bizarre for new users. One of many options was "Normal" and that made it work the way I expected. I have textured with ac3d the fuselage, vertical fin and rudder (they contain nearly all the trim detail). But now the model in fgfs has all the textured surfaces a rosey pink. The texture file was exported from the gimp in sgi format which was the only place I saw the rgb extension. The textures applied look OK in ac3d. Am I using the wrong export format from the gimp? Or have I missed a step in ac3d?


Rosey red/white checkerboard usually means that the flightgear model loader (via plib) couldn't find the texture. You might make sure that the paths are correct, spelling is correct, case is correct, etc.
