R8Paint v1.4
Download For Size Description Requries
r8pnt.zip FS5+ 33kb R8Paint is a painting program designed for use on Flight-Simulator V5 texture files (*.R8). It allows you to view the texture file (zoomed and unzoomed), roam through the file, and change individual pixels, or groups of 16x16 pixels at once. A screen size of at least 800 by 600 pixels is recommended, however a 640 by 480 display should also give satisfactory results. R8Paint has been tested on 16-colour, 256-colour and 32768-colour displays. It should also work on 16,000,000-colour (24-bit) displays. It has been tested under Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.5.

    Scenery Pointer v1.0
    Download For Size Description Requries
    pointer.zip FS2k2+ 28kb Scenery Pointer - I got a little frustrated using Ground2k4, synched to follow my aircraft, and trying to get the crosshairs in the middle of the plane to go up next to a hill. It just can't be done.

    So I made a plane that serves no other purpose other than to be a "pointer" in slew mode, with the crosshairs at the "point".

    It will go right down to ground level, and right up against terrain and buildings.
