Hello,
here is the version I chose is what you find attractive
Beautiful work, Ferondoe!
Firekitten, I love your work on this one. The colors look perfect!
Ferondoe, always loved that livery; very colorful; looks awesome.
I am uploading model and texture updates that affects prop blades, exhaust headers, and other miscellanea.
In the previous upload, I had broken out the c60a texture folders due to model and texture sharing differences.
This upload replaces the 4 model folders and updates two textures for each, and ensures you have the right pilot textures for the C60A.

I get it

No they will not work well in P3D 2.4 or 2.5. That's a whole new ballgame and something LM needed to do to move forward. i.e. cut the link to past incompatibilities and focus on the future.
Nearly finished now. One "generic" WWII era PV-2D Harpoon in period Navy Tri Color camo. Got a little touching up to do in a couple of areas (won't happen tonight) and then package it up. Then I can use this to get on to the one I've been wanting to do from the start. But I'll save this generic one separate and upload it in case someone wants to use it as a basis to make their own personal Harpoon. I'm doing both a 32 bit FS9 version and a .dds one for FSX. The screenshots are the 32 bit in FSX. And I've changed more than just the fuselage. (hint, Navy aircraft didn't have AAF air crew)
The problem with Navy aircraft is the Navy wasn't much on personalizing aircraft like the AAF was. So other than unit markings, they're all pretty much "cookie cutter" paints. Thus the generic version to which the unit markings can be added. But there's just something about the WWII tri color camo that I've always liked. Late in the war, carrier combat aircraft went to the all over dark sea blue. But the land based patrol bombers kept the tri color until after the war had ended.

All done now and will be uploaded shortly.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to put some text on the overhead panel for the switches, the tooltips will have to do
It still looks good without the text anyway.
I'm heading abroad on Friday and will be away for 2 months so I wanted to get this done and be available for all to use.
Also I made a new interior for the baggage compartment in the nose and belly, and this is included with the VC and cabin textures.

Here are my panel BMP files, gauge bezzels, panel screws etc, all added in and annotated the switches on the overhead in case anyone wants to use them?

MrRodgers: that is a gorgeous interior, I was going to start on a Civvy one, but that one is perfect! Looks like the L-18s have an interior! (and might I have permission to use that cabin in my C5-7 executive transport textures?)

I've hit a bit of a brick wall with the SOH upload, it says my zipfile is too big even though it's only 2.99mb! Tried 3x reducing it but nada. I'd rather not compress the textures as it would ruin them.
FireKitten, thanks, yes they do have an interior! You're welcome to use them with my permission.

Willy, Mark, Rachael, Wowsers! All excellent work; very impressive.
Thank you for all your efforts.
Try contacting Rami. He should be able to help.

Thanks Milton, but I'm not done yet. I've got some more civil paints floating around in my pea brain. I haven't forgotten the earlier civil one that I haven't released yet. I'm just not satisfied with the engine cowling textures I did, so I put it on the back burner until I can get a better idea. And I think I might have one going. Once I get this one finished (should be today, but who knows when painting), I'll move it to the front of the stove.
IMHO, two of the best paints I've done up to now were for the CalClassic C-46. A pair of fictional ones for Western Air Lines and Santa Fe Airways (there was a '50s Southern Airways that I thought was almost as good as those two). I've been getting an itch to see if I can get those schemes to fit a Lockheed Twin and as I'm starting to get comfortable with Harpoons. Although they might be better on Lodestars as I still want to do that TWA one that I started as an AI version.
And Howard Aero did a Harpoon conversion. That would be another nice one to have. So many paints, so little time.....
