Title: FS2002 painting and converting
Post by: texace on March 04, 2002, 05:58:37 PM

Ok, I know that this is a strange question to ask here, but no one on the FS2002 boards will answer me. I want to customize the paint schemes on my FS2002 planes, but the images need to be converted so they can be altered then converted back. They say there's a program in the FS2002 directory called "imagetool.exe" that allows you to do it, but I have not found any program like this. Does anyone here know how I can convert the texture files so I can paint them and then convert them back so FS2002 reads them? Thanks! :D

There is a program in the main FS2002 directory called fsedit.exe, you can edit textures, panels, sound, and flight dynamics of FS planes with it.

Well...I guess that's only with the Pro edition. There has to be another way.

Texace, I've got the Pro Edition... I'd be happy to look into extracting skins for you and sending them to you in PhotoShop or something.

I haven't done it myself (plan to tho) but it can't be too hard.

That would work...but then there's the problem of me converting them back to where FS2002 can read them. I'm not going to worry about it, though...there's thousands of repaints out there I can D/L...:D

Yeah, I did. Yet I do beilieve I may have a problem. First off, everything's in Spanish... Second, even when I tell it to find the directory I tell it to, it tells me that it cannot find the path specified or something like that... Anyways, I'll play with it a little later...

Thanks again, though...

Not a problem... Doesn't seem to work, so I won't bother until I figure it out more...
