-Presentation:
2 liveries for Thomas Ruth's A330-200. The airplanes models are not included. Tested in Prepar3D v3, should work also in FSX.

452-01 is a real life Airbus A330 that will serve as MRTT (Multi Role Tanker Transport) in the spanish Ejército del Aire (Spanish Air Force). 

There are two liveries included and both are of the same aircraft:
-The folder texture.mmfEdAMR(T)T is for the GE civilian model. It's the current state (in 2022) of this airplane (the Spanish Air Force has bought 3 A330-200 from Iberia, and will be gradually converted to MRTT standard).
-The folder texture.mmfEdA is for the MRTT model, and depicts the intended complete conversion to the MRTT standard.

Notes:
-No aircrafts included. You must obtain a package containing a complete aircraft from other source, so then these liveries can be installed. For the MMRT version, I've used the A330_German_MRTT.zip from Simviation. For the civilian GE (General Electric engines) model, I've used the A332_MegaPack_TR.zip, also from Simviation.
-For advanced users: do not alias the main_bump, main_light, main_spec, wing_bump and wing_spec to ones located in a common textures folder. They are adapted for these models specifically: _light to match the windows, and the _spec to decrease shine (as is intended in a militay aircraft).

-Installation:
1-Extract the textures folders to the folder where the Thomas Ruth A330-200 aircraft(s) is(are) installed.
2-Open the aircraft.cfg file, add the following entries after the last [fltsim.(number)] entry in the file (and over the [General] section) and modify the 'xx' to the next consecutive number.

As of 2022, the 01 is the first one to enter in service, altough without the tanker feature. The other two will become tankers and, when these two enter in service, the tanker conversion for the 01 will be completed. Presumably they will have the tail boom, even when no other aircraft in the EdA inventory (in 2022) has this kind of air refueling intake."
