Paint Kit (base textures) in layered Photoshop format (*.psd) for the Savannah model by Massimo Taccoli. Requires ICP_Savannah.zip for fs2004 and Sav35fsx.zip for fsx.

The files are in layered Photoshop format (*.psd).

You must have a program to edit the psd files, like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, and a utility that can convert the files to extended bitmap format (DXT3) such as DxtBmp by Martin Wright.

I assume you already know how to paint FS models, so no tutorial is included here. Tom Gibson has a tutorial at his website, www.calclassic.com, explaining how to use paintkits like this.
