-BIS have defined the main exterior texture of many of the vehicles. This way they wont need multiple P3D Model files of the same thing, just different texture paths. However doing this it also benefits those looking into retexturing vehicles, as not much skill aside from creating the texture (or more modifying the original) is needed.

 Benefits? What are 'hidden' selections?
-The benefits are that you wont need to know any addon or config skills if you want a simple retexture for a one off mission. More importantly it can keep your mission addonless!

-If you want to release a retexture as in a PBO addon form, you just need basic scripting knowledge. You don't need to edit the P3D, unlike before (where the model stays the same, you are just changing texture paths - P3D files are not small!) just a script to define what the new texture is.

 The texture file name is simply the texture in your mission folder. If it is in the same folder as the mission.sqm, then just put the name and the extension (must be .PAA and maybe .PAC). If you put it in a folder in your mission then you need to reflect that in your texture path.

 I've made a list of mainly the cars, and done a quick check on the armored/aircraft etc for those that accept this method. If I've missed any please let me know. Also make sure you use the correct variant I say. The VAZ (White) wont work, but the VAZ (Red) will. Same with the 'Car' (Skoda 105) and
