Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with an F-16 livery I'm trying to make.
I made the skin, converted it to .DDS (DXT5, Generate mipmaps) via Gimp. I then added the skins to a folder with a description matching the skin names and labelled "false" wherever a skin is in the local folder. When loading into the game to check the skin, however, all the areas that I changed are solid black (not the green digi camo thing) except for the default "shine" from what I'm guessing is some sort of alpha layer.
When exporting my DDS layer, I noticed it pops up as just a Gimp logo with DXT3 and a solid black square with DXT5. When I first flatten the image, however, the icon actually appears like my camo but has been sized down a bit with a large transparent bar at the top, and still appears as just black in DCS.
This is getting super frustrating, so any help would definitely be appreciated.
