| Bill, or anyone, I need help (again?) I was able to place some insignia
and unit names on the C-130 because when opening the texture folder the
parts were all there waiting to be painted.
BUT, When I want to paint over some markings on an AH-1 I get some sort
of weird lines and colors instead of a picture of a tailboom. I'm
pretty sure you are going to tell me it's created using some space age
program but I'd like to know.
Here are the pictures of what I want to erase and a picture I get when I
open the "main_texture.BMP in the aircraft texture folder.

| For starter you will need a program like DXTBMP (MW Graphics).

Here is a quick link to get you started:

I'm sure there are better. It's been a while since I repainted a plane but you will also want a better graphics editor
than Paint. Corel's (JASC) PSP is fairly inexpensive.

That did it. After some reading and trial and error, I was able to
re-paint the portion I wanted. Thanks again.
