creating, editing and painting aircraft in G2

[EKI16]

i dont have Real Flight G2 but i would like to know a few things about creating, editing and painting aircraft in G2. is it fairly simple to paint aircraft in Real Flight G2, were u go in to a menu within Real Flight to paint an aircraft and u dont have to deal with diffrent files and changing files or going in to a picture editor or anything like that to paint it? is it simple to create aircraft (providing u know how to create it and know measurements and all), also, is it simple to modify aircraft within real flight?

You can't create new aircraft in G2. You can edit plane parameters for to available aircraft. You can change the color scheme using a paint program like Photoshop. Not too difficult, but not very intuitiave.

ok thanks, i dont have photo shop. do u know of any other programs that work? a list on a website maybe? if not thats ok. i would like to know cause i got nhra main event and u had to paint cars like that, and i couldnt figure it out and it got frustrating so i gave up and i was hopeing that this would be a program within real flight G2. ( i used scan wise to try and paint funny cars and i got to a templet with the car on it and i could paint it but i didnt know how to save it under the right thing and i lost it after that, i tryed a couple diffrent ways but it never work on saveing it in the funny car file for nhra main event)

Any paint program that will read and write a targa file will work for modifying the trim schemes. There's not much you can do with realflight and other programs. There's no way to edit files for any other programs from within Realflight. I don't know what you would use Realflight for to edit NHRA funny cars.

i was useing nhra main event as an example of what i was hopeing real flight wouldent be, i was hopeing that painting planes would be a program with in real flight and not have to go into another program to edit paint schem like nhra.

i have a few other questions. if u have a airplane that dosent have retracts can u use that channel for any thing else on the plane?
