I much prefer this colour scheme over the more usual brown.
Unfortunately, I get severe 'blurries' witht this, especially on the wing textures.

Open the textures with DTXBMP and then resave them, but making sure to deselect the option to include mipmaps.

Thats done the trick.
I have one or two other aircraft in my hangar on which I'll try the same thing.

Imagetool.exe from MS will do the conversion as well, and supports batch files. I've made several batch files to convert bitmaps to several formats with and without MIP's. But before you download and use them, READ THIS WARNING!!!
This is VERY important - these batch files have a tag in them that makes them "recursive." In other words, they work in the folder they're in, and then dig into any sub folders. So, conceiveably, you could move one of the DXT batch files to the root of your C: drive, then move a copy of Imagetool to that same root, run the batch file, and convert every single bitmap on your hard drive to DXT compressed files! Thankfully, Microsoft put a Cancel button on the GUI of the batch processor!
