How to paint your own aircraft

[phxmkeflyer]

I can't for the life of me figure out how people are able to create/paint airline liveries on aircraft? I wish I could figure out how to do it; i'd love to create my own virtual airline livery for my FS9.

I'm not the most computer savvy but any help/suggestions on how to do this is greatly appreciated!

That's a tutorial for making repaints. I'm following it's instructions at the moment, and I might have to start by making the My Travel 757. The 737 paint kit is extremely different! Try it out if you want.

Is there templates somewhere in there? or available? I have tried a few planes of "my own" but modified the ingame dds file as seen here using what I learned in sim racing. (Cars).

Now in the car stuff we can get templates as psd to use with photoshop, so I wondered if there's similiar for FSX?
