Guys ,
Looking to add a Japanese version of the FW200 as was intended.
Any instructions welcome on how to get the plane side out of the tile and set up a separate plane file that goes into the plane folder... Very much hoping someone will help as its a plane I would really like to add for chrome to my mod.

I would open the strip in paint.net, use the rectangular selection tool and select the picture you want. Create a new file in paint.net and copy the picture in. You might have to resize by a few pixels depending on how good you are in selecting. Make your changes and save. Remembers you are saving to a new folder ART/JapPlanes. You will need a top view also.
See here on how to do this

One thing to keep in mind is that if the picture that you build doesn't fit in the film strip right or the size is off the game will crash....GP

OK after huge (tech) stress managed to achieve this. It seems you may have to make several attempts before the game gets the dimensions it likes grrrrrrrr
Thanks for the help guys.

The manual I posted a link to has the exact dimensions in pixels that is needed.
These files contain images of all aircraft of the appropriate side in one very large panel.
Each individual aircraft panel is:
(1) Side view :150 x 60 pixels
(2) Top view and mask: : 60 x 75 pixels
