	Ok, I assume there is not from the lack of response I will try to do one up. I am fighting with it a bit. I believe the .dds textures are dtx1 type, correct?! I tried to do a quick test on the repaint, but am left with just black empty textures?! I obviously am missing a simple step, methinks. Any help would be appreciated. Keep in mind, I am NOT new to painting, but it has been a little while for me, is all. Thanks. Bruce

Bruce Yes DXT 1 no alpha On Photoshop layer are hidden so if you open with what ever software you get empty texture. You can rent photoshop for a month so you can have fun with it and able to do your beloved CP AIR. It's not that complex livery. You can download a plugin from Nvidia website so you can export in DXT within Photoshop.

	Hi Bruce, What a coincidence. I started doing a CP air repaint just 2 days ago. This is really my 1st FSX attempt for a repaint. The red triangle is still work in progress. I guess I'm still learning. I would also like to do the cabin but cannot find good references for the interior colors. Here is a screenie Btw where did you get that CP air 727 skin?

	Awesome. I started the front fuselage, but it is a pain in the a$$ to do the red stripe around the whole top front of the airplane. Doing repaints is simple with horizontal lines; CP Air was a bit more complicated. This repaint kit is NOT making it easier to complete. As for the tail, unfortunatly, it is split up, otherwise your job would be a lot easier too If anyone has any easier tips, please let me know. Is there an easier way for me to wrap the red line around the top?! Bruce

Looking Forward to using the "EMPRESS" call-sign (CPC) on Vatsim.

	This is one of the most annoying paint kits I have ever used for a payware aircraft I am not a photoshop genius, but for gawds sake. Trying to get the red strip around the whole aircraft, smoothly transitioning from side to top etc. is a real pain. Having to do the nose in 4 different places to make a circle seems stupid. Maybe I am making my life more difficult than it needs to be?!?!?! Anyways, I hope someone can do this challenging repaint Bruce

	Sorry to hear you have stopped working on this nice classic bird. Thanks for trying. Is there anyone who can paint this classic jet?

	For you experiened photoshop'ers, is there an easier way to do the circle around the nose of CP Air, where it can be separated into the 4 needed sections? (I hope that makes sense) Bruce
