Agreed.
I cannot emphasise enough just how massively useful S3D's preview feature is.

Regarding the turrets, there is a problem in general. The turrets are in the Library and are used by potentially multiple ships in different camo measures.

As a result, they may very well not match. In order to make a specific turret match a specific ship, you'd want to make a new dat with just the turrets you want with all new IDs, and new names. Then you can paint those, and change the eqp to use that version of the turret.

I assume the Daring is the Type 45 Frigate. Check this thread:

so now i can edit the ships textures how would i do a texture like this, bare in mind im a noob and this would be my first mod, i am using the model of the uss montana from Karl94 i think, great model.

how would i get the texture to match up sort of like that, because karl94's texture is great i just want something different.
