HiI downloaded GNR's M420. Its a 'Top-Notch' model......but... I had difficulty when it came to do renumbering of the unit. When i finished in the paint shop, I opened MakeAceWin, converted the .ace file but it didn't let me. It said ' Textures must be 512x512'. I did it and it was too small that the lettering I did on the side hood was cut in half and it didn't look good. What should I do Does it effect when the engine is runningReply please Redfox_6900

Hi.
The model has 1024x1024 textures.
So you will need to export them at 1024x1024.
In MakeAceWin you can do that by:
Clicking: Create bitmap(for cab backrounds and controls)
You must click both of the clamp outputs and enter 1024 in each.
That should do the trick
Enjoy!
