Hello. i recently downloaded several aircraft that have a photorealistic passenger compartment from a real photo.i would like to know this is done so i can use some photos i have from magazines to put into fs2002 and fs2004. I recently purchased Abacus's FSrepaint but dont know if this program can do it.......... :) :)

The "problem" you may run into is not so much whether FSRepaint can or can't (I don't think you can because it doesn't "read" the interior model) but rather adjusting your photo to the existing assigned interior textures.

On an existing model, while you can identify the textures, you still have to work with the names and texture mappings - i.e. if you have a larger photo of the desired area, you have to crop it to fit the existing texture (or assigned part thereof)

It's possible the interior views are part of the panel, not the aircraft visual model. This was used on the FS2000 defaults & has since been quite common on aircraft without a DVC. The important thing is to detemine if the particular aircraft you're talking about have a DVC. This should not be difficult if you toggle through the views using the S key.
