Title: Nose art help
Post by: Snpshot on January 26, 2011, 12:55:43 PM

I can't seem to get nose art to upload for use. I know the .bmp file is 64x64, but can't seem to figure out if it meets the 256 color requirement. Here is the file if anyone can help...

One thing to do is load it into MS Paint that comes with Windows and save it as a 256-color bmp.  You could also Google-search for "Bright", which I have as a plug-in for Photoshop.  It indexes the colors and it really helped my noseart look good in the game.

Have you looked at the noseart in the game offline?  That way, you can test to see how it looks on various planes/vehicles and tweak it until you're happy enough to submit it as the CO of a squad.

Thanks for the help! It did upload once I saved it as 256 colors. Degraded the quality a bit but nobody will be able to notice!

Are you the CO of your squad?  Only the CO can upload.

Is it a 256-color indexed bmp?

What kind of error are you getting when trying to upload the nose art?
