• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

transparency issues with gauge bitmaps

This is strange... I am building XML gauges and as usual there is a bunch of 24 bit BMP files with transparent areas filled in 0,0,0. Sometimes there are areas not transparent around the limits of the 0,0,0 areas. If I open the file in paint and fill the black with another color, there are no "almost black" pixels to explain the fact. Also I then apply 0,0,0 and save the file back... problem persists... (????) Once this was fixed by opening the files in paint and simply saving them over... not now! Also, this cannot stay or it will drive me insane!

an example:

there is a clear "black spear" on the right of the needle, and a black "border" where the "mach disk" is located... none of these are present in the actual images!!
 
I am going to reply to my own topic with my own answer... 8-Bit the bitmap must be... Alzheimer's is on it's way probably...
