THis is going to be a one of question that I will ask.

I have downloaded the boeing 747 repaint kit for the defualt and the readme says just go and repaint it but it wont let me do it in paint so what do I do.

I have FSRepaint but it dosn't like me sharing the texture files with the rest of my VA beacuse when the other people get it they don't see the textures of FS.

If you have teamspeak could you come on and help me that way if it is easier.

Not sure why that would be. If your repainted textures work for you they should work for everyone else.

Have you tried converting the textures with DXTBmp?

I have that but I have no clue what to do.

First of all, do you have a registered version of FSRepaint or the free trial? If it's the full registered version you should have no problems.

I got the full thing (registered)

I repaint it in FSRepaint then I put that texture file I just repainted into a zip and put it onto my site to download but when everyone puts it in it dosn't work.

If it works in your FS you must either be uploading the wrong file or they're not installing it properly. Give me a link to the download so I can check it out.

In the blue writting. Tell me when you have got it as I need to take it off the site.

It works fine for me. I think it would help if you included some basic installation instructions & a sample Aircraft.cfg entry. Something like this:

Unzip the file & find the texture.5 folder. Paste this folder into your default B747_400 folder.
Open Aircraft.cfg in Notepad & paste this complete entry in between the last [fltsim.x] entry & the [General] header.

You did that and it worked.

Indeed I did. I'll post a shot.

So I get the texture folder from the download and put that in the defualt 747 folder and add that to the aircraft config

Yes. Here's the shot.

Can I put the new folder onto the site after I uploaded it and then can you download it again and check if it works.

OK. Tell me when it's ready.
