Car texture trouble

OK, i make a car texture in PaintShopPro 8, and save it as a .tga. i started with the corkscrew temp, and i painted what i want. i put it on my trains and it worked at first, i made a few changes, it still worked. then i made one more change and the orig corkscrew texture showed up. i re saved and loaded it again and it worked. another change and now its like stuck as the original. i renamed it, reloaded, resaved, changed it back, still wont work.

Anyone else get this problem, and how do you fix it. am i mapping something wrong?

Are you sure the tga image file is in the right folder? If the tgs image file isn't in the cartextures directory the simulator will then just revert to the default cartexture

yep it is. i tried everything, i know ive had this trouble b4 and somehow fixed it but i dont want to have to screw around with it anymore

well, if you can't fix it, send me the file and I'll give it a try
