How to I load it into X-Plane so I can select the livery?

I know how to use Photoshop and all, but I've never repainted a plane fro X-Plane yet. I'm working on a CRJ repaint, and have found the paint kit, but I have no idea how my repaint when it's all done. Any tutorials on this?

I see screenshots of other people with the CRJ and they have some good looking cockpit textures. Mine look terrible, do the iMacs just not handle it well? I'm running a mid-2011 21.5 iMac, 2.7 GHz Core i5, 8GB RAM, and an AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphics card. The thing is, FSX and the PMDG 737 NGX run great and look great on this same machine in bootcamp. Does X-Plane 10 just require more hardware performance.

I don't see this so much as an X-Plane feature as it is a developer feature. I think having 2D cockpits is equally as important as 3D cockpits. I find that working through cockpit flows, setting things up, and for some aircraft, IFR flying, to be easier when using 2D panels. I love flying with 3D in general, but not so much when I need to setup an FMS, or make changes on the overhead panel, or make changes on the center consol. I like calling up a panel while in 3D to do that. It's one of the reasons why I love PMDG planes so much, and I absolutely love the new 737. I fly in 3D view, set everything up in 2D, and make changes in flight 2D. It just works better than panning around and adjusting your view. Especially if you have a lower performing graphics card, where the graphics in 3D look a bit fuzzy.

I'll let you know on Sunday when I'm back home.

I have the latest version of XP10 running and the latest version of the CRJ. When I first load the CRJ it's fine, but often times, when I reload it to a new location, or a preset situation like the 10nm approach, the engines will be on fire. This never occurred in XP9, so I'm not sure if this is an X-Plane 10 issue, or a CRJ issue, a combination of the two. Other than that, it's been running fine for me in XP10. Has anyone else been having this issue?

This is a great list. I think it would be cool to add blogs to the list, but there might be a ton of blogs right now.

Mine has arrived. I'm watching the installer window on the second monitor now.

It looks like mine is out for delivery.

Mine shows to be at the sort facility in Columbia, SC. I wish I had just gone ahead and paid for UPS 2nd day air at least.
