Hey everyone,I want to try out painting some aircrafts but i've encountered a problem. I am unable to open some of the .bmp files in my texture folders, couple of them I can't open at all. I have tried opening them up with Paint.net, photoshop, and gimp, but no joy. Something I have spotted is that the ones that have the preview on the thumbnail i can open, while the ones that don't have it i can not. Is the .bmp file locked or is it damaged (probably not since i get these files from a majority of different developers)? And most of these aircrafts do not have paint kits either. Can anybody help me out?? Thanks!
