Not if the aircraft model is a different design. Textures are made for an
aircraft at design stage with the modeller specifying which bits of a bitmap
go on certain bits of the aircraft. The data for this is locked in the MDL
file. Unless both designs have an identical bitmap allocation then the
answer is no.
If the PCI model is actually a copy of Mike Stone's aircraft then you are in
luck. A quick look at the texture folders should provide a clue - they
should both have identical names and file count.

Doh. I was searching for a different texture for the Falcon 2000. I
started using it because it's in the PCI list. So, there must be a texture.
Bones, can I just use the PCI texture as an extra for the Mike Stone 2000?
