Repainting FS2004 aircraft involves more than changing colours. This hub covers locating the correct texture set, opening legacy BMP formats, preserving mipmaps, handling mirrored or shared textures, and editing alpha channels without accidentally making the aircraft opaque, transparent or excessively reflective.
The guides also address installing finished repaints, matching texture folders with aircraft.cfg entries, and finding specific airline schemes such as Vueling or British Airways A320s. Procedures are written and tested by the Fly Away team with FS2004's ageing file conventions in mind, including practical workarounds when modern image editors cannot read or save the required bitmap and alpha formats correctly.
