you download custom aircraft for making airline mod or because you download airline mod
then in de mod you see the custom plane

I assume you have downloaded one of the "empty" templates available?
Then it is what it is, a template. You can use it to create a new livery.

If you want to create a whole new airline, create it first using the in-game editor (there is a tutorial here in the forum) and afterwards create the artwork and use it with the airline you like.

It takes a while to go through the first process but after a bit of try and error you'll get used to it.

Maybe it have/will change but its pretty simple...im running the Edge Version and i didnt even needed a tutorial.
1) Just create a new airline...it appears like "Airline 1234"
2) Click Move to Folder...open the (only) Airline file with a texteditor to give it a better Name (not even necessary for working)
3) Switch task back to game and use "Edit Airline" to assign planes
Dont forget to close the textfile before you play on!

thats it.... ;)

which paint program do i have to use to create a livery?

You need one which supports layers. As freeware there is Gimp a good option but you can also spend money to use Photoshop or others.

That part is pretty straight forward. However, when I choose the airplanes to add the the airline it uses the blank templates. What is the procedure for pointing the airline to the modified templates instead of the ones initially available in the list?
