Thanks gryshnak.

I take it we just unzip these directly into the 'Extra 300' folder?

Program Files -> Micro$oft Games -> Flight Simulator 9 -> Aircraft -> Extra300

Cheers,

Yep, that's it. The zip file contains all the new textures, and an edited aircraft.cfg. Unzip it and go see what you were randomly painted with Grin

Glad you like it Grin

My painting technique was pretty basic - I just grabbed the next number off the list, asked myself "What colour haven't I used yet?" and literally flooded the whole bitmap with it! When I ran out of base colours I put a big stripe across the wings and tail, and ran through the colours again. You can blame Micro$oft for the mismatched pattern on the ailerons and tail, it all matches on the bitmap (but it does look pretty good like this anyway).

19 repaints in 3 hours, gotta be some sort of record!

Mine is "Blue 42" Grin

Blue is my favourite colour.

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!
