A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Military skins - World War II

Description: MAV unmirrored Ford Trimotor for FS9 by UncleTgt


This is a revamp of the default FS9 Ford Trimotor model.


The design credit lies mainly with MAV, who did the scasm work to demirror the default FS9 trimotor model.


The textures supplied are:


A45-1 Used by the RAAF for CASEVAC flights between Port Moresby & Myola Lakes during 1942


VH-USX Used by Guinea Airways to support Gold Mining operations around Wau. Based at Lae, it was destroyed there by the Japanese attack in March '42


8273 USMC aircraft used in Nicaragua during 1929


"23" Kunming One of several trimotors used by the Chinese during the 1930s


X5000 Impressed RAF aircraft, used by 271 sqn for transport & evacuation flights to Norway & the Dunkirk perimeter during 1940.


These are the same textures as were developed for the CFS2 model, but they should display in FS9 without issue.


To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen FS9 install.

Excellent!

The unmirrored model offers great potential for new skins, and the ones supplied are excellent.

Thank you!

Mick & Shessi, thanks for the kind comments. I don't have FS9 loaded anymore, so my comments about these textures are based on feedback from MAV, & viewing in ModelconverterX. So if you see something that needs changing or improving, just holler!

And it was MAV's scasm skills that made this possible, I just did a little GMax work to help & then got the paint brushes out

Thanks guys! Highly appreciated. Most default aircraft are actually quite nice, however most of them are not really done with repaints in mind.

Cheers,
