Thanks guys. I used a Poskey 737-800 and their paint kit. I used DXTBmp to convert the extended bitmap that FS2004 uses and Poskey provides, to a regular 24-bit bitmap and saved the file under a new name.

I then opened the new 24 bit bitmap in photoshop 7 and did my painting. I saved my worked and then opened the new painted bitmap in DXTBmp and then saved the new painted file as an extended .bmp and placed it in my texture folder for the Poskey 738.

HTH...

Thanks Mate. I haven't uploaded it because it's my little VA that I'm playing around with. I'm going to do more and make them more general.

Boy am I glad they changed the engines on the 737... the original ones looked like 2 cigars strapped to the bottom.

Your repaint looks awesome!
