Hi Everyone,

I'm going on a special day out trip to take photos of planes now i was wondering unlike train sim can you use photorealistic textures or is it done by using paint shop pro, Becuase i hope to do a KLM photorealistic texture for flight sim.

Regards,

Hi KLM, I am pretty certain that photorealistic can be used for aircraft textures, I have some of my own downloaded aircraft are done in this fashion....... how it's done though, I havn't a clue.... I would expect someone to jump in here with a little more knowledge, and confirm it.

BTW........ Welcome aboard.

Plan on taking alot of pics. Suggest about 150-200, and cover every inch of the plane. This includes wheels, landing gear and doors, engines, front..back..side..etc.

When you have all your pics loaded and saved, then you adjust them to fit the bitmap of the FS a/c. Sounds easy huh. Prepare for it to take about a month to do correctly.
