CORRESPONDING NUMBER DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF TEXURES YOU

The above lines are from the aircraft.cfg document found in the
Boeing 737-400 folder. The number "4" represents the texture number.
You will change the letter "X" in line 1, line2 and line 7 to the next
available number of your 737 textures. If this is your first add-on texture
for the Default 737-400, then the number will be "3" because the last texture
number used is "2" (AMERICAN PACIFIC,LANDMARK,ORBIT are assigned 0,1 and 2)
