Maybe it is Paintshop Pro which is the problem.
I have opened your file in Gimp2 and added land texture to an area of sea and Save As map_T.tga
I had an option to select RLE Compression. I unselected that so saved the file uncompressed.
You said your Gimp file was small -- must have been compressed.
File saved in Gimp2 opened ok in FMB
Maybe Paintshop Pro also uses compression?
--- I will not be able to comment again for a few hours. Best of luck.
PS. Easiest way to add an airfield symbol will be to copy and paste an entire airfield from another map as per Neils method described in earlier post. That way you will instantly get a fully working airfield complete with takeoff and landing facilities and taxiway routes. All you need to do is level the ground in the area selected using the height tool in FMB Map Editor, after you have positioned the airfield.
