Description: In 1944, the RAF let an order under lend-lease for 140 A-26 C/B aircraft to supplant Bostons and Marylands in near and far east squadrons.
2 A-26C-25-DT aircraft were delivered (KL690, KL691) for evaluation, but were deemed redundant at that point in the war. The order was cancelled, and 86 undelivered A-26's
were turned over to the US Navy in 1945 as JD-1's (US Navy BuNo's 77139 - 77224). KL690(presented here) and KL691, the only A-26's taken on charge by the RAF,
were returned to the USN in 1947 as BuNo. 80621 and 80622. Photos of the 2 RAF machines are scarce, though written descriptions are of natural metal machines with black or
olive nose anti glare panel and standard RAF markings of the day. A number of what-if schemes are also presented, re worked from exsisting textures from the original release
and some of Sean Doran and Jens-Ole Kjolberg's nice camo paints (why re-invent the wheel. Thanks guys) with period markings and nose art.
The textures are in BMP.DXT3 nomips format for use in both FSX and FS9 formats, with a shared texture and bump formated folder/config included for FSX. If you insist on DDS format,
run them through DXTBMP.

Will they work in FS9.
The answer is 'Yes.'

Your question intrigued me, so since I convert a lot of FSX textues to FS9 I thought I'd get my SOH A-26's from the hangar and give it a try.

Fortunately, the main textures do not need to be converted from a DDS format but can be extracted from the zip files along with the folders. Rather than use the common files from the repaint package, I just copied over the other exisiting texture files from another existing folder - being careful not to overwrite the texture files from this package. And the last step is setting up the aircraft.cfg.
