Hello Heady,

I can't answer myself, but I suggest that you have a look at some of the texture packs, download them, and see what they are made from: Texture Packs

To make your own textures I guess you'd simply need an image software like gimp, or more simply Paint.

However if your concern is making a Soyuz, maybe have a look at the existing packs, the Soyuz is a popular demand and some stuff probably already exists for the Soyuz.

Hello! There are some texture packs that have Soyuz textures in Textures. But if you want to make textures of your own, here's a guide:-

First, install Texture Loader properly first. (obviously)
Install the References.zip in the TextureLoader download page as well.

Make a folder inside Spaceflight Simulator_data>TextureLoader>ColorTextures with the name of your texture. Put your texture inside the folder, The texture can be anything you want, just that it has to be in a .png format.
Extract References.zip, go into any texture's folder and copy config.txt. Paste config.txt in your texture's folder.
Open the config.txt in your texture's folder and edit these:-

Edit the text in the red circle to your texture's name, anything you want to name it. The name you are editing will be different from the one in my picture.
Edit the text in the orange circle to your texture's file name, (i recommend you change your texture.png's name to what you want your texture's name to be.) like Orange.png

Next, if your texture is a colour, edit the orange circle in the above picture to "Stretch" if your texture is a colour.
And if your texture is a logo, edit the orange circle to "Logo" if your texture is a logo.

Save the changes, open up your game, you should see your texture loaded into your game!

hope I didn't miss anything.
