Hi everyone,I need a little help. I am starting a new VA and i would like to repaint the default aircraft in FSX.I can take the default textures and I can open them in photoshop. but there are no layers so i am always painting over windows and rivets, etc.Is there somewhere i can get a layered paintkit to use for fsx or is there any way to make what i have layered so im not painting over the background only.thanks!

Hey :)A little trick is to set the layers with your paint scheme on to "multiply". This allows the details to show through, however it will darken the paint scheme and does not work with 100% black or white. But it is a fairly common method :)Regarding non layered files, unfortunately you can't re-extract the layers from a flattened file (such as a bmp). That's why paint kits are made specifically for repainting, these are as you probably know usually saved as .psd files which retain the layers.Its very unlikely that anyone has made paint kits for the default FSX aircraft and are unlikely to. However I do know that Microsoft included the paint kits for the 737 and 747 in their SDK.
