My first FS9 repaint: Eric Cantu's 737. and still questions

Hello.. as some of you might already have seen at ubi I managed to finish my first paintjob for Fs9, a 3 in 1 to be honest.I skinned 3 liveries of Casino Express, an small airline flying 732s and a friend is working for them.

I finished the daylight textures and am really satisfied with the results so far. Mainframe from Screenshotprints.com helped me with the airliner weathering (seems after skinning my heabily worn warbirds i can not apply slight weathering anymore ) and supah from the very same page showed my on one fuselage section to draw my 1st very first panellines ever .. took wings and engines of the paintkit that came with cantu'S plane.





andfinally a weathering detail:

What do you think?

Now my problem, I contacted Adlabs already at SSA, thanks mate, and his replies worked.. so i was able to use night textures of the same size as the daylight textures, helping a lot in proper alinging them...

Now i got the lights. problem 2 was that when i turned off the landing gear lights even the cabin lights are off... What the..

again a google trip that brought me to the awareness that it is possible to use night textures with 2 channels too.. main channel for "landing light + panellight" and alpha channel for "panel lights only".. ahaaaaaaaa!! so that alpha layer is the one i need now as i am flying around with panel lights onnly and want to see the neat cabin lights there..

so far so good.. made both channels and saved the file with DXTbmp as.. well.. yeah.. DXT1 i guess.. done. setting up a night flight and no light at all..



gentlemen.. i need your advice now.. any ideas?! How can i have both night texture channels working?!?!?
