• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I use to do my own repaints in CFS1, and would like to do some in CFS2. I have Adobe Photoshop 7, will it work? Also, if someone could kinda explain how to go about it, or put me on a tutorial it would be greatly appreciated. Oh, I also heard something once about demirroring? Thanks in advance..
 
Photoshop 7.0 will work splendidly....I have Photoshop 5.0 and 7.0 and use both...5 mainly for panel lines, 7 for paint and insignia placement.

Not sure what programs you used for CFS1, but the big one for CFS2, FS2002, FS2004 is Martin Wright's DXTbmp. It is a freeware program that converted the extended bmp format texture files into normal 24 bit Windows bmps so that they can be opened in paint/photo editor programs....then convert the files from 24 bit back into extended bmp format for use in the sim. I don't have the website address at hand, but if you do a Google search for Martin Wright DXTbmp, it will be the first one on the list....brightnet something or other or something or other brightnet. Make sure to grab the dll package while on Martin's site...you will need it to get any of his software to work.
