Depends which version of FS. For FS9 all you need is DXTBmp & a decent graphics editor. There's plenty of freeware editors to choose from including GIMP & Paint.NET.

For "true FSX" aircraft with DDS textures you might need Imagetool included with the FSX SDK.

The latest version of DXTBmp does a fine job of handling DDS textures, no SDK required.

Don't argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Ah, there you go then. Wink

I found this excellent free graphics editor yesterday. Genuine Freeware. It will do all you need. http://www.photopos.com/Photo-Pos-Pro-Image-Editor.asp
