hello,

I noticed many aircraft downloaded with in-flight cabin views that are just regular pictures. So i figured I could make any view with any picture. I saved a cabin view of an Airbus A340 and made it rear.bmp (bitmap format) before copying it into my FS2002/aircraft/A340/panel folder and editing the panel.cfg to have a rear view with fixed window and file rear.bmp with the ident of the view. Anyways, In FS2002, when I hit rear key, its just black, how do I get the actual picture to show up, and how do I make it (like some other photoreal shots) so you can see out the windows in FS?

thanks

You have to convert the bmp to DXT3 format. Can't use standard bitmaps in FS. Use DXTBmp by Martin Wright.

Also, you will have to edit the window portion to make it transparent.
