Repainting - File Conversion Question

Featured Replies

G'Day!Been looking over some older aircraft and many of these have their texture files shown in an "AF" format.How do I convert these to something I can view and work with?Regards,Heather

Thank you John!I'll give those a try. I have the first one; didn't even think of giving it a go before posting.Regards,Heather

I use a program called "Convert R8" from MW Graphics.http://www.mnwright.freeserve.co.uk/

Another good program to look for, if it's still around, is BMP2000.

Thank you gentlemen for the leads.I have found those; downloaded, and others. Trying out various ones.I have found one called Tex512 that actually converts the mdl file to read bmp images instead. Looks like I may go that route. Of the ones I've looked at so far, I can see here all of them can have their uses.Again, thanks! I really appreciate the help.Cheers!Heather
