How do I open the Ariane 737 texture files ?

Since United is on the brink, I thought I might repaint my 737-300 but I can't even open up the texture files. Any help is appreciated....Greg

You need DXTBMP to open up the .bmps, and a paint program to link to it so you can make your edits to import back into DXTBMP... But I have to warn you, the way the textures are laid out makes it very frustrating to repaint. Before you invest a lot of time, you might want to talk with the FFX folks.... They are coming out with a 737-200 and '300 that looks like it will have almost everything Ariane's model does. And it will be free. Perhaps it's release will cause Bobbo to liberalize repaint policy and perhaps even release a good repaint template. Here's some links to shots of the FFX '737:http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/dcforum/DC...mID8/19546.htmlhttp://www.flightsimnetwork.com/dcforum/DC...mID8/19539.html
