Hi JohnNot sure what program you have. I use PaintShopPro 7.0 and I found the following piece below was helpful to get me under way. There is also a texture converter required for bitmaps. I am not sure if this is the latest link to Martin Wrights site:MWGraphics website http://fly.to/mwgfx/or search for DXTBmp.exeRead everything.Practice, practice, practice with your paint program. Expect plenty of frustrations. Then perhaps ask some more questions."GJSmith.com Artworks is proud to announce the availability of a FREE Graphics Tutorial for FS2002With the consent of Computer Pilot Magazine I have now been able to put my entire Graphic's Tutorial on "How to Paint FS2002 Textures" ONLINE for your use.
