yes like Pigeon said Pixia is good to start to with and is usable, i would provide a link but i dont know the site.

It is also advised that you get DXTBmp >here> http://www.simviation.com/cfs2utilities1.htm its the first download

;)
What do I do you ask? I struggle! Then destroy! Then try to put back together what I just broke on accident.....

DXTBmp is used to decompile textures that have a reflective Alpha channel fused to them.  Don't worry, it isn't as complex as it might sound. ;)

The Alpha channel is what gives each aircraft a reflection.  All the default aircraft have it, and most downloadable aircraft as well.  Some do not.  The ones that don't have it already cannot be modified to accept it, so you'll just have to deal with that.

Anything else, come back and see us.

Happy Flying
