I wanted to edit the fuselage texture from the great O. Fischer JU 52 model ... the 1938 Olympic texture....to add back in the swastika on the tail...., but my photoshop wont open it. is there some special program we need to open BMPs from plane files?

as this plane was originally fs9 maybe i need to learn how to convert textures between 9 and X...?? i seem to remember there is a difference...

thanks...
 
Open with DXTBMP and then choose photoshop as your editior. Double click the texture when loaded in DXTBMP and it will then open in photoshop for editing. After editing is finished, save. Then in DXTBMP, refresh after edit and save to the needed format.

Note that it is already a .DDS/FSX format

OK, followed directions...opened in photoshop did the edit....then saved back into the texture folder as BMP with same name overwriting original BMP. Opened in DXTBMP and saved again.

Could you check my work and see if i did it right? i was not sure if i had to do anything about alpha channels and or how to make sure it was saved back into the original format other than just selecting BMP...

thanks so much for the help,..once i learn this i can do more repaints....

THANK YOU ...i thought maybe i had messed that up

Just a few more pics of this beautiful plane, i will ask the creator if we can upload this new updated skin....he did such a beautiful job on this classic plane...

Morning Flight over Samos....a flight that the original JU would have taken many times during the German occupation of Greece during WWII....
