I have a FFX 737-300 in a Southwest livery and I would like to change the registration number on the plane and add the blue color to the main landing gear hubs.I have never painted a plane before, so could someone give me some steps on how to make those changes I mentioned? I have WinXP (pro) and I heard (not sure where I heard it from) it comes with a paint program, but where do I find it? (only had WinXP for like 2 weeks, so it's still rather new to me)If WinXP does not come with a paint program then you can just forget this whole thread :-lol

The only thing it comes with is MS Paint, but ig you want give it a try with that. :(

Ok I'll give it a try with that.Can you give me a walk through on what to do so I can make the changes? I never painted a airplane before.

MS Paint is very easy to play around, just open the bmp and make the changes you want. :) Also, to convert the textures back to 32-bit use ImageTool, http://www.projectopensky.com/files/paint-resources/ .

Thanks for the replys, I tried to make the changes but I had no idea what to do. thanks anyway.

Joseph,The steps to paint, or modify the painting of an FS9 plane are best left to a tutorial; too lenghty to cover in a forum posting. There are some good tutorials around.
