Prop Textures and FSX

[fbass 1]

I don't visit airports just to see aircraft taking off and landing. However, I do program hundreds of prop aircraft for my AI environment. I keep seeing repaints containing FSX prop textures and I was wondering what is the problem that developers would take the time to "paint" these prop textures. Because I use a central storage methodology for all my "standard" aircraft textures (props, light maps, etc) there is no way to determine what prop textures have been "upgraded" to FSX.So, I was wondering if one or more developers would embark upon a project to provide a complete set of FSX prop textures for all the aircraft that are designed as prop aircraft. Of course, if this is a violation of some developer rights then it's probably not feasible. But, I would think that all of us who use FSX would really appreciate a source for these FSX prop textures.Below is a list of prop aircraft that need FSX prop textures. NOTE: This is a list of FS9 designed aircraft that work in the FSX AI environment.Of course, if this is not an issue then disregard.

Do a search. A solution was just posted here a week or two ago.

I ran a search as you suggested. However, there was a lot of talk of prop textures but most of the solutions were very general and associated with changing the actual texture file. Personally, I don't have enough knowledge of doing that sort of thing - ie fixing a prop texture file. Perhaps someone could provide detailed instructions to solve this issue - preferably not using Photoshop (too expensive and too high of a learning curve). I use Paint Shop Pro (cheaper and easier to learn-use).Frank
