Why not simply use FS Panel Studio's built-in utility: Tools/Screen Capture... :gossip:
Hey Bill,
Yep. Good point. For those that do not know, FSPS has a built in screen capture. Take the screen capture and square it off and drop onto the original lightmap, make exact to fit, then create the new lightmap layers over it.
If you do it on your own, the first one might take you a couple of hours. But once you learn how the process is done, you can start doing them in several min's. I must have made 20 myself in the past 2 weeks for that one bitmap.
For repainters that work on panels as well, this is good practice learning to make subtle night glow (realistic looking) in aircraft that feature panel lightmaps. Some neat effects you can do.
By the way, Bill Leaming here is the guru that taught me all of this. Good teacher!

Bill,
If you learn how to set them, the plane will practically fly itself. The Danville CAP have a G1000 Cessna 182RS and it is something else. All you have to do is take-off and land from 600-ft. ground level, when the system kicks out and the pilot takes over.
Really kind of boring in the sim, but if you were a professional pilot, it would be an absolute "must have".
I have the real G1000 Simulator software that the CAP uses to teach cadets and others on the usage of the system. My brother gave me the software, because he could not make hide nor hair of the instructions. I had to learn it to teach it to the real pilots!
Imagine that! A simmer teaching real pilots how to operate their instrumentation! :costumes:'
For those that would like to read the real manuals, go to the Garmin website and you can download them for the particular aircraft you fly: http://www8.garmin.com/support/userManual.jsp?market=1&subcategory=59&product=All. Bill's Kodiak is near the bottom the page.
