Is there any easy way of repainting the FSX default aircraft? Especially the smaller one i don't where everything fits in. it just guess and check?

Guess-and-check has always worked for me!

I've just completed my first 'proper' FSX repaint, and it's a rather steep learning curve (which is why the next installment of 'Blighty' is late!). Getting DXTBMP to write DDS files is a black art, and the specular and bump map files do your head in! It's easier if you have a full up to date edition of Photoshop, but that's way beyond my budget!

You should read the SDK 'Texturing Aircraft Models' document.

i can't find the Texturing Aircraft Models document. Where is it? i do have fsx deluxe

Load the SDK Overview.html file, and you'll find the link in the first paragraph under the heading "Environment Kit"

yeah guess and check is the way I do it. I think there's a paint kit for the Jetranger around somewhere tho.
