Hi all! Is there any utility that converts the aircraft so that it uses not *af textures but bmp files Where can I find it?

Two things to consider - Chuck Dome wrote a utility for that purpose.  Search this site under "Chuck Dome" and or similar.

Alternatively, if you're planning to use a model for FS2000 or CFS1 (heck, through FS2002), you can use the regular bitmaps, just renamed to the original *.*af.

For example, you may see some "FS2000 only" models that have the *.*af textures, but they're probably renamed *.bmps

Another solution is to use a hex editor on the *.mdl and locate all the *.af call outs and change them to *.bmp.

I have done it this way several times in the past.

Have a look for AF to BMP Texture Converter and FSFS/AF99 Texture Converter here...
