- Savoia Marchetti SM73v2.1 converted by UncleTgt
This is a conversion of Stefano Meneghini's FS2004 Savioa Marchetti SM73 for use in CFS 2. This is a collection of several complete aircraft, giving a total of 8 textures & 7 different aircraft models.
For ease of installation I have separated out each engine/airframe combination.
The repaints are all as per the original FS9, apart from a new 271 Squadron RAF texture for the SABENA aircraft by me. The only other changes is to the bitmap formats to make them compatible with CFS 2, & new propeller disk bitmaps (courtesy of Kelticheart).
The airfile uses some elements from the SM81 AI airfiles developed by Bearcat241. I have tried to approximate the characteristics for all the different engine/propeller combinations within the limitations of CFS 2. They have not been exhaustively tested across all ranges and altitudes.
The new 2D panel & VC panels are WIN 7 friendly. They make extensive use of Kelticheart & Manuele Villa's new Italian aircraft gauges, available separately at SOH. I make no claims regarding the accuracy of the layout, & positively encourage people to improve upon my attempts.
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.
Thanks to: Stefano Meneghini for a great aircraft, & for his permission to convert version 2.1 for use in CFS 2.
Manuele Villa & Kelticheart for the new Italian gauges, making an approximation of the aircraft cockpit panels a possibility.
RMPropWash for his conversion of version 2.0, which was the start point for making this fly within CFS 2.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
