Hey, finnally got my pc worked out! Grin

I was just wondering if there was any free or lower cost alternative to fs repaint. Don't want to sound cheap, but i am only 14, and i have very little money!

thanks! EFL

We registered FSRepaint users find it good for viewing and repainting FS9 aircraft. It's not the best way to repaint planes but it is an excellent viewer for checking repaint modifications as one proceeds thru the repainting process.

Free alternatives are:
1.) DXTbmp
2.) Paintprog (Pixia; PSP, etc.)
3.) FS9
Usage:
1.) Identify, convert to Extended format and view individual texture files
2.) Repaint, saving to 24 or 32bit BMP format
3.) View results

I see no reason why you couldn't use the Demo version of FS Repaint to view the textures. This could be very useful.

This is the Read Me for the DEMO version of FS Repaint.

The DEMO version has all of the capabilities of the full version except that you cannot save the results. This means that while you won’t be able to fly your repainted aircraft in Flight Simulator, you’ll still be able to view the new paint job using FS Repaint’s flexible views – very similar to how the repainted aircraft would appear in Flight Simulator. You can use FS Repaint to zoom in to see the small details, zoom out to see the overall aircraft, and change to any view point – up, down, left, right, back, front, sides, etc.

I use DXTbmp which is working out fine for me. I have also discovered that leaving FS9 running in the background on the aircraft selection promp - allows you to activly see your repaint coming along on the AC itself

Happy Painting

That's what I did for a long time, until I finally gave in and registered FS Repaint. Then I realised how much easier it made things! Grin
