I haven't finished on the Dave Eckert / Warwick Carter freeware model yet (conflict of interests with the real world) but if anyone has the Alphasim payware Texan, then I have half a dozen paints up on my website for free download: http://eagleskinner.com/otheraerodownloads.htm just scroll down the page a bit.
Here's a tease on "Thumper #12" - I am using a d-i-y environment map for this, so you'll see several "racers" reflected in circuit. All good clean fun!

Yes, as per the earlier part of the thread:
It's available on flightsim, plus John Terrel did some great SNJ paints. There is at least one yellow Pensacola-themed bird - again, a modern day warbird repaint, that I can recall. Most of the WWII era SNJ paints were bare metal, reflecting more current warbird schemes than necessarily how they flew in the 40s - but they're lovely, and to be gratefully appreciated.
The model is a standard Texan, but the dev team incorporated a brilliant little toggle (shift+1) that enables you to toggle - among other things, the tailhook. Yes, we all know there were differences between Texans and SNJs - but fans of FSX naval aviation will hopefully agree the compromise is a decent one - given the alternative of no other freeware, native, SNJ specific model. With the various .cfg and paint mods out there, it is a freeware gem of notable mention.
cheers,
