I am thinking about redoing Dutch East Indies campaing. Must learn to walk first. Attached is an image of a Fokker XXI fighter in more or less proper form. How do I convert this image into an resouse file? Remember KISS principal, please!

I hate to answer your post with a critique but the XXI was never used by the
ML-KNIL.
This is especially ironic since it was actually originally designed for that very user.
All the XXIs built were used by the KLu for the defence of Holland when it was invaded by
Germany. The Finnish AF also used license-built XXIs to great effect against the Soviets.
A better choice for the East Indies would be the
Brewster Buffalo or
Hawk 75.
BTW the WIKI page on the ML-KNIL mentions the XXI as in use there during the 1919-1935 era but this is incorrect.

Thanks, but I know that. But as I am going to use three Dutch battlecrusier that were never built why can"t I use some planes that were built? My scenarios, when I get through with them, have very little to do with what actually happened. I have a list of favorite planes and ships that I like to use, like the British Westland Whirlwind fighter or some French battleships and destroyers. I enjoy what might be more than what was. I do appreciate your response however.

I seem to have solved the problem. I had to load the image file (Fokker XXI.png) into the resource folder of the CAW game. This made the image available so that I could edit the sprites etc.
Now all IO have to figure out is how to load the .srf into a screnario.

This whole procedure makes my head hurt!!! Just give me a scenario to install and use.....
