lets say i have a multi tile airplane. i use pixel x and y to keep the overlays at the right spots, but lets say that when im facing up or down, the pixel x's are different, and then when im facing left or right, the pixel y's change, is there a fast way to do this?
ex. 
P=plane
w=wing//wings have 4 dirs
SOUTH
   wPw   
North
   wPw
East
   w
   P

West

why not draw it in paint at full size, rotate it to get all 4 directions, then split them into dmi's
when you turn they should automaticly change to the picture. but that would probably involve making it 4 32x32 icons.

In response to Maz
so basically change the icon when they turn?

Yeah, instead of adding new icons/overlays builf it in 4 icons so you dont have to worry about the wings
