Questions about Gimp

[stefano56]

Hallo to all, i wish create some 2D panels for my friends for the old CFS2
flight simulator.

I am newby in this kind of mod.

I use Gimp, CFS2 read bmp in 8 bit 256 colors ( size 1024,768 ), when i indexes the work in 256 colors the bmp is not correct with less colors that 256 and totally transparent.

The final bmp will be 769 KB after convertion mine bmp is more little.

Anyone know how to convert the work from Gimp file to bmp in appropiate way, or is necessary use another prog?

Thanks in advanced for any informations about and sorry for my poor english.

Best regards.

I think this is CFS related and not a Gimp problem.
So I'm moving this to the CFS forum

The only thing that comes to my mind, is to make sure you do not have any selections, masks, or alpha channel on your working file when you export the .BMP file.

I have never used CFS2, but I remember years ago having a similar issue on FS2004 (I think), and in that case, it was because I had a saved selection in my GIMP .xcf file.

Hope this might help.
