You will need at least three items:
1) a graphics editor (MS Paint can be used but is not recommended)
2) DXTBMP
3) a complete tutorial that you feel comfortable with

There are plenty of tutorials available, you decide which suits you best. I'll only give you the link to one of the more popular ones, you can find others by googling or just checking the usual flightsim portals.

http://www.projectopensky.com/

Click on 'forum', under the 'General Discussions' heading you'll find 'Painters Learning Center' - click on it - now you are in familiar territory. Read the Stickies! The third one is a tutorial. Two topics further down you have a more in depth tutorial.

My advice, do read and revisit those forums frequently, it will save you a lot of frustration.

For DXTBMP go here

Yes, the Kittyhawk 737-800, one of the best freeware 738s IMO. Nobody seems to have done the Singapore Airlines textures yet Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

The Kittyhawk one, exactly as stated in my post above.

Get yourself one and fly it and you'll know what I mean.
