Hi there,I'm a newbee to this forum and I wonderd how to repaint my favorit plane and make my own instrument panels.Wich software should I use? Where to buy or download?If you have any suggestions, pleaselet me know.Thx. F

The best $25 I have spent for FS is, beyond a doubt, FS Panel Studio. The 2D is indispensible for creating and editing panels.You cannot create Virtual Cockpits, but, can you can edit existing ones.For repainting planes there are numerous paint programs that will work.DXTBmp(free)is great for converting from texture to bitmap(for editing) and back to texture.MS Paint, Gimp 2.0, and PaintDotNet are the freeware ones my skinflint carcass uses...Don
