How do you repaint?

You got it. The "template" is the all white version.

Sweet thanks dude I guess I now have no excuses for not making a VFA35 Wolfpack skin.

It doesn't look like a template, a template should be saved as a PSD with layers for each component the white Hornet is already in dds unless I'm mistaken and its located somewhere else. Does anyone here have the original PSD for the Hornet?

Voodoo:
You could use a DDS utility, like the excellent freeware DXTBmp by Martin Wright, to extract the DDS files to a graphics editor of your choice (Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc), edit them, and import them back into FSX.

(I'm sure there may be other DDS converters around but I can only speak of my personal happiness with DXTBmp).

Hope this helps.

**********
Having just tried this method though, it is pretty difficult to do a decent job, it really would be better with source files that are "layered" - either PSD's (for Photoshop) or PSP's (for Paint Shop Pro).
Anyone know if anyone makes them?
For that matter does anyone know of a decent freeware repaint kit? (I see Xload is payware)
