    Hey guys, got another weird one. Car has 7 gauges. All appear correct in 3dsimed and all are referenced correctly in the cockpitinfo.ini. All needles use the same tga and appear to be functioning correctly. The backgrounds aren’t appearing correctly on all gauges. Tacho and Speedo are correct, 3 gauges are blank, 2 gauges are showing the tacho background. Any ideas?

    Do all gauges have the same material settings? Maybe wrong materialid?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I checked the material names and they all looked ok but I renamed them all anyway to check but it didn’t help. It turned out to be a problem with some of the tga files. I don’t know what exactly. I created a dds copy in 3dsimed. Opened the dds in photoshop and saved as dxt5, then converted it back to tga and it worked.
