I'm making a NS OCS F7a and F7b (yes, they have those). However, i am stuck: I cant find a way to shrink the NS logo onto the unit size. Thanks!

If you don't have it get Paint.net. D/L the logo, open it in the program and re-size it to whatever size you need and then paste it onto your model.

If you're using Photoshop, use Free Transform to resize the image.

Do you have DXTBmp program? It's the easiest way to put alphas onto BMPs.

Missing Geo or the bin file isn't pointed at the right texture.
