hey dennis
I was reading the following messages and you were talking about
the scenery designers work....
I found a little program at this site that takes bmp file and makes
them r8 files..
I made all kinds of b-52s and connies and f4 phantoms and put 100s
of them around Davis Mothan AFB in fs98...look s great...then I took
the file and laid it over ARIZONA 2 scenery file for fs5.1...
A hair off but seeing there pallets and not api's they all showed
up...no 256k buffer problems...
Iv also with this file been taking APIs and repainting them...
this can be fun...alot better than using the default stuff on the web..
