This has been explained in the forum here (https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1383898760/17#17). I haven't done it in a long time, so I'm not sure that the BMP files are good enough (or can be used) on their own without being converted into DDS files. Note. The link to the John Travolta Qantas V-Jet in the post I linked above requires you to login to dropbox to download it (only if you want it). I'm surprised it's still available because I haven't done anything with dropbox in years (and the emai account I used back then no longer exists).

HI Mark,

Thanks for your help. I did tried the steps "converting FS9 BMP textures to DDS textures" from the manual but they didn't work, until I read this post. I don't think the bmp textures will work in FSX because FSX uses DDS format for all its textures. When I selected my aircraft in the Selection screen, only the wings were textured but the rest was black. The problem was that I did not name the Texture in the aircraft.cfg with the same name as the texture folder the textures were in. It still looked dark and I can barely see the textures on the model airplane in the aircraft selection screen. Then I placed a texture.cfg file into the texture folder as was stated here. The textures work now. But there was another problem. On the aircraft selection screen, the image only showed a blank picture with a question mark. The reason is because the thumbnail image was named Liberty.jpg instead of thumbnail.jpg.

Ken.
