Here is a problem that has been bugging me to death. I've been working on a cab project for the JR-500 Shinkansen. The first picture below show the tga file I used. I created it used Adobe Photoshop 6.0 using the render lighting effect filter. As you can see the transition from darkness to light is rather smooth. The ace file I converted it to showed the same degree of smoothness. However, when I loaded it into MSTS you can see that this smooth transition was replaced by what I call a ringing effect. Is this something common in MSTS and can it be corrected?

RE: lighting distortion when using MSTS

Thanks Andre. Worked like a charm. Don't know why I didn't think of it before since I had saved the picture in 32bit color.
