I want to make a new Harrier skin for the Nato Fighters 5 campaign. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about it? I am a Strike Fighters 2 skinning newbie. Just need a quick breakdown, as I have never done this. Working with Gimp.

Ok. I followed the directions and I'am able to get my edited bitmaps into the game. The only problem is that the exported bitmap image seems to darken to almost black. Im sure somebody has had this problem. I read about using JPEG instead of BMP. Is this a viable solution?

Screenshot would help.

I figured it out. I was darkening areas of the template that were not supposed to be darkened.
