I just tried it again and I now get am corrupted graphic when the cars come into view... It may be when I copied the baggage car file the first time it did not overwrite the the original corresponding IHH file as I have both versions of the Challenger (Probably should have checked the file dates after the copy process) Sorry !!**sorry**!! I'll chalk this up as another senior moment !!jabber!!

Apparently because bwfer has the files to both models... "...I just renamed/backup-ed the GeoPcDx files in the IHH folder and copied the files from the RSC Challenger folder ...." I have the IHH version but not the RSC version so I can't test this myself.

This DXT5 thing.... does that mean I won't be able to convert some of the new stuff with the old MWGraphics DXTBmp? That would put me out of the static scenery repainting business.

DXTBmp is capable of DDS DXT1 no alpha, DDS DXT1, DDS DXT3, DDS DXT5, DDS 444-4 16 bit, DDS 555-1 16 bit, DDS 565 16 bit, DDS 888-8 32 bit, DDS 888 24 bit, DDS 555 15 bit and DDS 256 color.
I think we're covered.

Well it looks like bwfer duplicated my little problem. So for the re-paints to work I need the original IHH files. Either that or re-paints of the newer RSC files. Since IHH sold those files to RSC and I already paid for them, there should be no complaints about obtaining the original ones.

We have been contacted by Sly (IHH) a few times over the months about people giving his work away. Then there is the whole issue with who holds the rights to the original files. Either way it could get messy. I would recommend not to.

I have as much of an idea that you bought the models, as you know that I am a red head. Even if you produced an email, or a credit card statement it wouldn't be proof since I have no way to verify the authenticity of either.
