Painting? or desiging?
For building your own models, the free program is gmax, included in the extras folder of disc 4 (or 1) of the FS2004 CDs.
Alternatively, you can download it from turbosquid.com

For which Sim version? CFS1/FS98 can be done by opening their individual texture files with MSpaint. If you have a capable scanner, you can xfer what you've hand drawn into bitmap and apply it to the texture file. It's best to replicate & rename the original texture file. Also make a habit of making the upper left pixel 'true' black so that you don't wind up flying blind should you ever do similar work with a panel texture.

Okay, what you need:
DXTBmp to read and write the image files (available here on SimV).
A decent image package eg The GIMP, Pixia or Photofiltre (all free, I use PF)... Alternatively you could pay for Paintshop Pro or Photoshop but it isn't really worth it for repaints.

I use pixia which is good for repainting.
