FS2004 Val-U-Prop Douglas DC-3

Textures only for the payware MAAM Sim passenger DC3. Requires the original payware model from MAAM Sim and BPB_FS9.ZIP by Jan Visser, Bill Rambow, Fred Banting, Rob Young, Bill Womack, and Howard Sodja. Repaint by James Underwood.

Always first make a backup of any files you will be modifying!

Create a folder within your FS9 MAAM DC-3 PASSENGER aircraft folder named "texture.vp" (without the " of course!). Copy all the texture files from the MAAM UAL Passenger folder into the texture.vp folder. Next, extract or unzip the contents of the MAAMVP ZIP into texture.vp folder allowing the overwrites.

Now, open the MAAM DC-3 PASSENGER aircraft.cfg file with notepad. You will see a listing of the aircraft in there. At the end the aircraft listing, add (copy and paste) the following text example. Where "XX" is in this example, you will need to put the next sequential number that would follow the previous aircraft. If for example your last fltsim.XX aircraft entry is "3", you would duly replace the "XX" with "4" (without the quotes, of course):

[fltsim.XX]
title=Douglas DC-3 Val U Prop Medium
sim=MaamSim_DC3
model=ual_m
panel=
sound=
texture=vp
kb_checklists=DC-3_checkride
kb_reference=DC-3_ref
atc_id=16063
ui_manufacturer=Douglas
ui_type=MAAM-SIM DC-3 - Passenger
ui_variation=Douglas DC-3 VP 16063 - Medium VC
atc_heavy=0
atc_airline=VP
atc_flight_number=631
description=VP Douglas DC=3

You may want to eliminate the "medium" from the title: If so, use the following:

[fltsim.XX]
title=Douglas DC-3 Val U Prop
sim=MaamSim_DC3
model=ual
panel=
sound=
texture=vp
kb_checklists=DC-3_checkride
kb_reference=DC-3_ref
atc_id=16063
ui_manufacturer=Douglas
ui_type=MAAM-SIM DC-3 - Passenger
ui_variation=Douglas DC-3 VP 16063
atc_heavy=0
atc_airline=VP
atc_flight_number=631
description=VP Douglas DC=3

NOTE: If the above does not work overwrite one of the texture files in the texture folder of the Passenger DC-3, with the files in the ZIP file herein attached.

Save the file, and you're done! Happy flying and thank you for choosing Val U Prop.
