I didn't mean like that. I want to make my own textures and put them on the air craft.

You will need a paint program and a way of making the texture files readable by the paint program.  I use DXTBMP and photo shop to edit the textures.

Ryan. May I suggest you check out the Aircraft Repainting forum. There's plenty of tips there if you browse through some of the topics. ;)

There are many excellent repainting tutorials posted on this & other sites. This one should give you a start. http://www.calclassic.com/repaint.htm
