I can place the scene on my ftp site when I get home.. it will be about 6.5meg.. I will also try the tga format. But I also try BMP and it did not work. One thing I thought about is using a distribution map that is slightly wider and maybe it would resolved the issue. Sort of a kludge.. I am lost for ideas on it too.. Unless others are having problems like what I am having, I must be doing something wrong.. I just like to know what so that I can fix the problem.
