How do you create skins onto an aircraft? i have an accurate tsr.2 model and i want to add a skin to it as the model shows only a white skin. it is a fs 2002 model from www.bluesteel.com i think. can any one help, i can provide extra information.

Not sure if yiu can use FS2002 skins in CFS2. FS2k is compatible.

O.K, ahem(removes foot from mouth). Martin Wright's DXTBmp may be what you're looking for. You can get it here

ty very much ill give it a go.

the problem is though cfs2 isnt displaying a skin bescuase one didnt ship with it, does anyone know the location of programs to create and add skins to the aircraft model i have already?

[Mushroom_Farmer]

I think you can use any graphics program, such as Paint Shop(Pro) & Irfanview, to create skins and then use DXTBmp to convert them if necessary. Any other members feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or ommitting something.

The site you linked to seems to be down right now or I would check it out for you. Maybe I have the wrong idea but if the aircraft is untextured there's nothing you can do about it.

Now that sounds like an intresting plane.My Father worked on TSR2 at Boscombe Down and we moved the family to Blackpool when she was moved to Warton.I look forward to hearing how you get on converting her and maybe seeing a sneak peak???????

These's a TSR.2 for FS2000 posted right here. http://www.simviation.com/fs2000military26.htm
It should work fine in CFS2 without any conversion. Has its own panel & sound files so won't even need re-aliasing.

You can have a look if i can get an image uploaded, unfortunately i have contradictary info about armerments but the plane flies well and you should see the mess 12 1000lb bombs make, i havent got the cruise missiles or the nuclear weapons set up yet but hopefully i can fix that. i always have probs with images.

Here she is, although it looks much better in 1280x1024. it still neds some tweaking and im going to swap to the ALPHA sim bombs later

slight problems on the nuke ront, the modern weapons pack isnt working, but ill keep trying to finish the thing.
