    Gray, you show to near artistic perfection what Xara can do with the
    exterior of an aircraft. Xara has an engineering side too- illustrations
    that would not be thought of as art.
    I suspect that you know how helpful Xara is in the interior of
    an aircraft, especially the bevel, transparency, shadow, text,
    and feathering tools.
    In this instrument panel of a Fokker aircraft, everything including the screws,
    switches, plates, cutouts, and gauges were crafted in Xara. And they are not
    for show; all elements are designed to function within Microsoft's simulator
    environment.

    Excellent job, but I'd love to see a bit of wear and tear.

    Great looking panel iagman. Xara is very strong when it comes to technical drawings and so are you.

    Ah, technical drawing that takes me back to the days of straightedges and dividers 3H and 2H pencils. I prefer splashing on paint or as I do nowadays on the computer buckets of colour and ribbons of light to create my drawings but yes as you say Xara is excellent for drawing clocks and such like.
    Great piece of work iagman. Oh and what is Microsoft simulator environment? It’s a new one on me, I only seem to keep up with grey hair and not new technology , well not unless it is forced upon me.

    That is pretty cool iagman, I always wondered if I could use Xara in making skins for IL2 Sturmovik 1946. I just might give it a try. I use Photoshop CS6 now.
