Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to get liveries with texture files in this format: F18_Main01_T.dds, for example, to work with an airplane that has liveries with texture file made in this format: CP_F18_1_T.dds ?I have found some really good liveries made in the former format I wish to transfer to an aircraft with liveries made with the latter format. When I tried to "install" the livery of the former to the latter, it came out with no markings of any kind. No National insignia. No numbers, just a big grey jet. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Not possible I'm afraid. F18_Main01_T.dds is from the FSX default FA-18 while CP_F18_1_T.dds is from a 3rd party F-18. It's most unlikely that textures for a similar type by two different developers will be interchangeable. If you compare the textures by opening them in DXTBmp you will see what I mean.

Aww....OK Rats! Well, thank you very much for your quick help.
