I would really like to start sprinkling some parked planes around my favorite places to fly, what I was wondering though is what program is best for this? I have heard of several, each with loyal users. However, consider me "modding challenged", in other words, which program is easiest to use? All I want is to add static planes around some airports using planes I have in my FS2004 hanger. I am trying to get that "local fly-in" feel at some airports so I would also like to be able to put planes anywhere on an airport, not just parking spots, but in the grass and such. Again, I am going for a "fly-in" look.
Remember..."modding challenged", a coloring book with pop-out pictures and fun little connect-the-dots puzzle is welcome! 

Most people I know use SAMM:

Hope this helps,

This should fit the bill, Adam...>>>

Abacus EZ Scenery for FS 2004:

Select object, drag and drop!
(Contains the whole contents of the FS 2004 Object Library...including aircraft).

Its what I use, together with LAGO FSE Scenery Enhancer...

...and RWY 3...Runway designer/placer...

It works a treat!

First off, no matter what method you choose there is going to be a learning curve. But none are really difficult if you read their manuals and practice.

Your best bet is to place them as 'scenery objects'. Note-you cannot use the 'flyable' aircraft directly from your hanger as 'scenery objects'.

Thank you all for responding! I was a little disappointed there were no pop-out pictures of coloring areas in the SAMM read-me....
Non the less, I shall study the read-me for the SAMM program before attempting to use.

Gotta love SimV forums!
