Starting today, FS Design Studio, our flagship program for creating Flight Simulator aircraft and 3D scenery has a new companion for texturing and colorizing. For several years, Jorge Santoro and Marco Paulo da Silva have worked to devise an easier way to texture and paint FS aircraft. Early on, they wanted to simplify the process and so they decoded the internal structure of the predecessor Aircraft Factory 99 models. From this they were able to display full 3D models on screen. Next they developed an intuitive user interface that lets the model builder effortlessly select, apply, change and view textures. Then FS Design Studio was developed. And so they've adapted these sophisticated techniques for FSDS. The result is this slick new software. VASS-Gold is bound to become an essential tool for model builders. |

The FSDS Connection The power behind VASS is that it understands and works with the FS Design Studio (FSDS) file format. Since the model's complete structure is known to VASS, it offers a variety of ways to increase your productivity.

VASS Powerful 3D View The 3D View has more than just good looks. The authors have tailored VASS to use the 3D views to their maximum capabilities. 1,2 or 4 Views You can choose 1, 2 or 4 views of the model. This is handy if you want to see the changes from different perspectives.
Interactive part selection Here's another great feature. Click on the 3D view to select a part.
