When you open the aircraft selection box there are three boxes for choices. Manufacturer, Model and Variation. The third box contains any variations (paint schemes) of the aircraft if available. For example the Boeing 747 has a four variations. If no variations are listed then none are available. Unless you make your own. There is a whole forum on Repainting aircraft.

I didn't mean like that. I want to make my own textures and put them on the air craft.

You will need a paint program and a way of making the texture files readable by the paint program. I use DXTBMP and photo shop to edit the textures.

Who switched the lights off? I can't see a thing....... Hold on, my eyes were closed. Oops, my bad...............&&

Ryan. May I suggest you check out the Aircraft Repainting forum. There's plenty of tips there if you browse through some of the topics. Wink

There are many excellent repainting tutorials posted on this & other sites. This one should give you a start. http://www.calclassic.com/repaint.htm
