Repaints???

[argueman]

Is it possible to repaint the default aircraft??? I want to do the B737 in Air Canada, same with the Caravan. Any tips??

Thanks a bunch,

Repainting FS2002 aircraft is not a problem. It's much the same as before, the main difference being that you need to de-compress the texture files before you paint and re-compress them after you have finished. The system should be fairly similar to re-painting for CFS2. Maybe in the meantime, you can check out http://cfs2.dogfighter.com/ as that community has been doing DXT (compressed texture) repaints for ages. Another good site to start with is Martin Wright's site http://fly.to/mwgfx/ This is an extremely useful site that also has the utilities to compress and decompress texture files.

I'm not a repainter myself, but the stuff I've mentioned will get you started (along with Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop!)

Some of us don't know how to repaint older (95/98/2k) aircraft, and the SDK is no help either.
