I was looking around and trying to find scenery and ai for Flying the resupply for the flying Tigers. Can some one give me any direction in finding anything for this area. I would love to fly the DC3 and land at the Tigers airbase and maybe see the P40s landing and taking off, and also love to fly a P40 and hunt for Zeros as the DC3s are trying to land.
 
Man, I would like to see and try that too...

How many hours was the Hump flight? I still cant believe they flew that high back then.

FS2004 scenery. Allied airfields 1941-45 SE Asia.
290 fields in China, Burma, India, Malay, Sumatra
and Java. Covers almost all the known airfields
involved. The American fields are mostly correct
for position, orientation, length and Ndb data, the
British and NEI ones somewhat less so. A few CBI
fields are more fully detailed. To be used for
reflying historical sorties throughout the area.

It doesn't come with scenery but Andrew Herd wrote a 20 page document with recommendations on scenery and aircraft add-ons. The package has a nice bunch of maps and such.

China Burma India Theater in World War II. This package is a compilation of documents, maps, references and pictures of the period from 1942 through 1945. It was inspired, in part, by Andrew Herd's article "Great Aviators: Flying the Hump" (27 November 2005) about the China Burma India Theater of Operations. The Hump Operation lasted 1,074 days. A total of 667 transport planes and 1,021 airmen were lost during this period. So go ahead and take the challenge. "Fly The Hump" in the worst weather the Himalayas can dish out, back when you couldn't fly over it, you had to fly through it! Package concepts by Bill Baldwin.[/SIZE]
