This is a further improved version of Michael Pook’s offering of the same aircraft. He subsequently have located a very old texture set that I suppose was meant for a similar package like this one; but that texture set was unusable as the textures in that set differed totally in compilation to the ones of his offering. I have therefor, on his request; done the adaptation of those textures in order that they can be used with this package…it was quite a challenge. I went and further updated the texture set of both the texture set from his offering as well as those from the adapted one as far as colour continuation goes for the set that came with his offering as there were too many colour-hue differences between the fuselage, wings and stabilizer’s colours. And about the adapted set that I did: I colour-coded the engine nestles to coincide with the colours of the main upper-wing’s colours. I also wrapped-over the camouflage pattern of the sides of the fuselage to the upper section thereof to complete the picture. I also re-textured the insides of the plane to the best of my abilities as those pink-ish interiors just didn’t do it for me. I trust that you will enjoy this old package that he and I have tried to blow some new life into.

Textures for the Manfred Jahn DC-3 in Pacific Western Airlines colors. The freeware DC-3/C-47 v3 by is needed for this repaint. Seven DC-3s flew with Pacific Western from about 1953 till 1972. CF-PWI was with them from 1956 to 1972. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. It should work on FSX & P3D v1-v3.

Textures for the CalClassics DC-7C in Pacific Western Airlines colors. The freeware Cal Classic DC-7C by Greg Pepper and Tom Gibson is needed for this repaint. Pacific Western operated four DC-7s, and this DC-7C was with the airline from 1964 to 1969. This repaint was tested on P3D v3. It should work on FS2004, FSX & FSX-SE.

This is a cockpit interior and panel update for the Hawker Tempest MKVI recently posted by A.F. Scrub. The package features four liveries, among them the beautiful display bird Blue Thunder. The focus of this update lies on the enhancement of the cockpit interior, an entirely revised photoreal virtual cockpit and 2D panel with animated yoke. Almost all the original gauges have been replaced with new ones, now giving the panels a much more authentic appearance and making them almost look like the real panel. Smoke effect added. Thanks to David Hanvey and Paul Barry for the original FS2004 model, to David Rickets, Jan Rosenberg, Dave Quincey and Matt Wynn for the repaints and to Morton from SOH for the great photoreal 2D panel, which is the base for the VC. Also thanks to A.F. Scrub for his latest native FSX update, which has made it possible to implement this VC, Also thanks to Andre Ludick for his prop texture and some tweaks to the aircraft.cfg. New VC and gauge configuration for the panels as well as interior enhancements and smoke effect by Michael Pook. Flap fix by A.F.Scrub included.

FSX/P3D V3-V4 Hawker Tempest II As a result of the termination of the Tornado project, the Tempest II was designed from the outset to use the Bristol Centaurus 18 cylinder radial engine . Apart from the Centaurus engine , the Tempest II prototypes were similar to early series Tempest Vs.Tempest IIs produced during the war were intended for combat against Japan, and would have formed part of a proposed British Commonwealth long-range bomber force based on Okinawa, Tiger Force. The Pacific War ended before they could be deployed. Model by A.F.Scrub
