For repainting FS2k2 or 2k4 aircraft, you will need DXTBmp to convert the textures.

They consist of a regular texture (the colors you see in FS) and the alpha channel (the reflection that goes with the textures).

The alpha channel goes from 0,0,0 black (mirror reflection) to 255,255,255 white (no reflection) and anywhere in between.

Hi Andrew,

There are many, many tutorials out there, almost every FS orientated site has one.
It's just a matter of finding one that works best for you ;)

As Baron said you will NEED DXTBmp at the very least, Would also recommend Paint Shop Pro 8 or Photo Shop.

Good luck and I look forward to some paint-jobs soon ;)

Carl out.....
