FSX USMC King Air 350

Texture package for the FSX default Beechcraft King Air 350 in dirty, dull mat grey US Marine Corps colors. Included with these textures is a complete sound package by Leon Medado. By David Robles.

These textures are only for the Microsoft version of the King Air and will not work with any other version or model.

I always loved the Beechcraft King Air, but the default FSX version is lacking so much so I've decided to improve what I can. First I found a more accurate sound file and then I wanted a more robust paint showing the King Air more of a work horse than a show piece. I painted the King Air in the style of dull matted C-12 Huron. And being a Marine Corp guru it had to be in there markings. I will later try more clean polished versions of the aircraft if the response to the gritty, dirty look is good.

Many of the improvements over the years have provided better aerodynamic efficiency, increased muscle under the cowlings, greater speed, upgraded avionics and electrical systems, and increased cabin luxury. In addition to duties as a corporate shuttle, the plane is also available in cargo configurations."
