:welcome: and pass, i havent made one for over five years *Salues fallen squadwar bretheren* Whats the colour depth? 

BTW- You DL'd  fs2 i assume? Cos the full instructions are in the manual, I cant remember the specs off the top of my head but it needs to be 256 colour bit iirc.

Re: How do you make a PCX pilot immage
I'm more interested of this:

Where is (are) the texture(s) for the HTL cockpit? I looked through all the media vp files, but I couldn't find any obvious names. I'd like to try and see how my own face would look in a Freespace craft's cockpit... :lol:

Re: How do you make a PCX pilot immage
actually I do not see any reasons not to save the pilot image as a TGA file with alpha channel :)

If you want to carry on with pcx your image must have "clear green" background for transparency, use 256 color palette and pcx compression has to be disabled.

It has to be an 8-bit image. Most programs default to 24-bit.
