FS2004 Savoia Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero Service Pack 1 (v.02). It was the most important Italian bomber of World War II. This tough three-engined aircraft established a reputation that contrasted with most Italian weapons of the day. SM.79s served widely in the normal bombing role, but it is as a land-based torpedo bomber that the type deserves its place in military aviation history. In spite of its cumbersome appearance and outdated construction, with an internal provision for 2,750 lb (1,250 kg) of bombs, supplemented by under fuselage rack for a torpedo, the S.M.79 was a rugged, reliable multi-role medium bomber which did quite a bit of damage in the face of heavy opposition. About 1300 production models were built over a nine year period. The SM.79 had a distinctive 'hump' on the upper forward fuselage, which housed both the fixed forward-firing heavy machine-gun and the dorsal gunner's position. Its appearance earned the aircraft the nickname 'Gobbo Maledetto' ('Damned Hunchback'). During the last phases of the war the surviving SM.79s were converted into various versions of utility transports and used in that role until 1952. Includes four upgraded plus one new hi-res Gmax models (five different versions) featuring the usual moving parts, such as all flight controls, props pitch and leading edge flaps. Eleven different liveries (six R.A., one A.N.R., one I.C.A.F., one post-war A.M.I., two Spanish Nationalist Air Force). VC only. Created by Manuele Villa & ItalianWings.

[/SIZE]For those that downloaded my transports, I have made a new set of textures that I shall upload shortly I got confused myself! It is a bomber, so it should go in the M folder, not the Bis.
There were so many alterations that needed be done to the cfg info too and I just got around to correcting all that!
Anyhow, if one uses the bomber version, it is going to have spinners, the real thing was a bomber and did not have spinners. The good part is I can paint the spinners red.
I have revised all of the texture to have the black wing leading edges and red spinners.
Here is the correct revised cfg info for both FSX and FS9, change the * to the correct number of course.
