HiTry this. When you're in MakeAce and you're ready, click " Create Bitmap (for cabs...). Clamp Hight and width to your size (eg. 1024x1024). Let me know if it works.Redfox_6900, MP47.8 NBEC's Newcastle Subdivision

RE: trying to pait the nose

HiBy the way... YOU'RE THE MAN!! NBEC ROCKS . What program did you use? I use paint, but before, I convert to BMP (no Alpha) in TGA Tool 2. I am more use to painting engines. Here is a tip: find out who made the "GP & SD Common cabs". He might be able to help you. BTW, do you have a NBEC SD40????? Try to show me a shot of your engine.Redfox_6900, MP47.8 NBEC's Newcastle Subdivision

RE: trying to pait the nose

I didn't know that there was an update. Now I got it and every thing work perfect.Now I have to wait a month before I can continue. I'm using my parents computer to built NBEC railway . The problem is that I'm only here like once a month tomorrow I'm living.I tried to attach a picture of my sd40 but it didn't work . Mayby because this is all new to me. Thanks for all the help
