imported nose-art for CSF3 is blury, Need help

[CabooseRIF]

Hi ya'll. I'm new around here, but I had a question I thought ya could help me figure out. I was thrilled with the idea of putting in my own nose art into CFS3, and got it all figured out- so I thought. I can get it converted to DDS, imported, and put on the plane just how I want-

The only problem is the image is a blurry choppy mess rather then the clean picture I drew. (and no it's not just my art! )

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've read around the forums and tried several things, but nothings worked, so I thought I'd make my own post.

i'm having the same problem when converting a FS2004 texture (8bit depth BMP) to DDS, i flipped the bmp file before converting in every possible way and still no positive results...
Also tryed different programs to do it and nothing...

I actually ended up figuring this out, though it's still a little blurry, but not the mess it was before. To be honest I can't remember what it was I did, though I think perhaps it had to do with the resolution of the source file. I wish I could remember what I ended up doing, but if I ever figure it out, I'll post my solution up here (should have done it in the first place.) Best of luck to yah!
