How to read skin textures?

[Guest SuperKungFu]

I would like to customize some of the aircraft skins in MS. It doesn't matter which aircraft I'm viewing, everytime I go into the textures folder for that particular aircraft, I can't view the textures. Even dragging them into photoshop won't be displayed correctly. But it appears just fine in game. So are these texture files encoded or am I missing some sort of plugin in order to alter these files?

You'll need DXTBmp to view your textures.Here's the linkhttp://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/index.htmCheers
