You can use any photo editing software. Photoshop, Corel Draw, Paint Sho Pro, and yes, even Mspaint. Make a 256 x 256 black and white top veiw image of what you want your island to look like. Black equals water; white equals the very highest point.

No.

You will need to fine tune the vehicle settings until it become possible.

Photoshop + UV map.

correction, black equals the lowest point. the water level is set within the client window.
also you can set the heght scale of your heghtmap in the client window. all this stuff is documented in the manual, buddy. making heightmaps are fun, too.

you cAN paint right overtop the bitmaps that go to the .atms to change the color or textures of the models. you dont even have to stay in the lines!

vehicle settings are hard, yuo can spend hours trying to get one to feel right. dont know if youre gonna be able to keep them from crashing, tho. but you can increase the control sensitivity so theyre easier to land :)
