well don't know if it good enough, hopefully it will work for ya, I down sized it as a vector image in inkscape but switching it to BMP loses quite a bit of detail....hmmmm seems to be adding a JPG at the end of file name....not sure what that is all about,  it is bmp......let me know.




incidentally...this is my family crest on the Irish side.......  mothers maiden name is Gallagher :rock

Cool.
This would be my families actual coat of arms. But I thought something would be lost in the translation to a nose art skin LOL



Interestingly enough. The name Mendez has its origins with the Visigoths. And I now my grandfathers family originally were in Castile Spain And were of notable wealth at one time

On my mothers side. Which actually is German. Her family crest is this


But the image turns me off for some reason. and I think it would look ridiculous on the side of a 190 LOL

hmmmmm  thats very strange ....you know what to do to change that?


a free program called Photofiltre...it is an image manipulator....you can save it as a bmp from there...it is a quick easy program, just open it up and save as...very strange..... I just opened the image I saved on my desktop and it is a bmp...when I upload it to photbucket it adds jpeg........not sure what is going on there..... I can say I have never seen this happen....

right click it after you save and check out the properties....it should still be bmp....


no problem Man :salute


and ou are correct that would not look good on a 190....or any plane for that matter :D

Managed to convert it online and save it as a BMP file without loosing much in the way of quality or details
Here

Funny though when uploading to photobucket it saved as jpg as well on the photobucket site.

Oh well. I'll try submitting it and see what happens

you know that all you have to do is name it to the name of squad leader, have him(you if you are the CO) and put it into the squad folder right?

glad you got it worked out. :aok

If you guys are impatient in waiting for HTC to upload it, your squaddies can put it in their squads folder as well ( yourconame.bmp ).

hosting site don't like to host bmp files. BMP files are much bigger than a jpeg or gif so they convert them for you you. Only way to send them around is to email it, or host it as a "file" like ImaDot did instead of hosting it as a "picture".
