Yup, but that's the USNI reference picture, I think I need something else. I tried compressing in usnidata and it didn't appear to work either.

I figured out the BitmapName is the picture image used when at the platform selection screen (I.E. during quick mission, campaign, mission select, etc). For some reason the "P3_US.jpg" is hard to find. It's not in the 3d folder or any other .grp folder. Maybe it's named something else. I'm pretty sure if I just change the bitmapname below to the f-14 tomcat.bmp that I have, it would work:

[Interface] "p3" 25
[BitmapName] "P3_US.jpg"
...
[END]

Can any .bmp be used to represent a platform in the platform selection screen? Or does it have to be a specific file type (j3d)? I'm stumped.

Edit: Getting late, calling it quits for tonight. Will resume tomorrow. Appreciate the help so far guys! Here's a screenshot; if I'm not making myself clear (which I'm probably not) then hopefully this will:
