Lets see... if we switched screens two and three around...

We'd have a lead balloon that got black sabbath stoned, and then gave them a sweet kiss!

You have reminded me of my long lost project to replace that blimp with a full sized Zeppelin... Grin

In the end I ended up with a giant gas bag which was 9000 meters long and made a 747 looks like a gnat. At that point gmax broke down and it never got any further. But there is still a half made zeppelin hanging over meigs! Grin

Thanks for the help, Ace!

In FS2002, it's under this path:
SCENERYDB|Generic|generic|Texture|
The file names are the top two if sorted by alphabet. Same filenames as above.
