Well, select a texture that you like, then download and unzip the .zip file with Winzip or something similar.
After that, most addon texture files have a "readme" file, which contains a "flightsim.x" section.
Using notepad, open up the aircraft.cfg file of the aircraft that you want the texture applied to, and then, copy & paste the flightsim.x section in the readme, into the aircraft.cfg file. Don't forget to turn the "flightsim.x" header, into the next consecutive number, such as "flightim.1" "flightsim.2", etc.
Here is an example of what can be found in the repaint section of the aircraft.cfg for a certain aircraft:
[fltsim.0]
title=Cessna Skyhawk 172SP
sim=Cessna172SP
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=Cessna172SP_check
kb_reference=Cessna172SP_ref
atc_id=N176CM
ui_manufacturer=Cessna
ui_type="C172SP Skyhawk"
ui_variation="White with blue and gray"
description="A stable and trustworthy plane, most pilots have logged at least a few hours in a Cessna 172, since it's the most widely available aircraft in the rental fleet, and is used by most flight schools. Since the first prototype was completed in 1955, more than 35,000 C172s have been produced, making it the world's most popular single-engine plane. One of Cessna's first tricycle-gear airplanes, the 172 quickly became the favorite of a growing class of business pilots. Its reliability and easy handling (along with thoughtful engineering and structural updates) have ensured its continued popularity for more than 35 years."
