I'm doing just a basic repaint of the default Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, but I'm having trouble with the text. I wrote "Blue Ocean Airlines" on the side of it, but on one side it reversed. I know how to fix this when there are two sides to the plane and not just a mirrored image. Can someone help me with this?

Here's the right side of the plane:

Here's the left side of the plane:

Also on the left tail, the Grand Caravan logo still appears, but I think I know how to solve that. So if anyone can help, thanks!

Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. The kicker is, if you want something to appear correctly, you must use the decal.bmp or change the font and color of the n-number display. Examples of this can be found in my TSAviation repaints. A great tool for working within and with Fs9 is Aircraft Container Manager...a must have.

Actually, it can be done with Photoshop.

What are you using to paint and add text to your a/c??? If Photoshop, I can show you how.

Just let me know what your using. Or send me your texture file, and I'll fix it, and send it back to you.

I got your PM and pic. Doesn't help me much.

Zip up the texture folder for this paint, and send it to me through my email below. Make the subject "Grand Caravan Paint". This way I will know to open it. Shouldn't be a problem size wise. Should be under 9MB file size.

If you can't do it that way, then use http://www.yousendit.com/ to send it. It is free, and very easy to use.
