FS2004 Mexicana Douglas DC-7C

This is a repaint (textures and model only) of Tom Gibson's and Greg Pepper's GMAX DC-7C. The included model file is the most recently modified version which more closely captures the distinctive shape of the vertical fin of the DC-7C. This aircraft, XA-40B, is depicted as it appeared shortly after delivery to Mexicana in the late 1950s. By Wayne Tudor.

It was produced using the DC-7 Paint Kit. You must have Tom and Greg's DC-7C to use these textures.

• Copy the included texture.MEX folder to your DC-7C aircraft folder.
• Copy the included model folder to your DC-7C aircraft folder.
• Add the following section to your DC-7C aircraft.cfg file, numbering it in sequence.

description=The DC-7C was a complete redesign abandoning the wing of the DC-4 allowing a further substantial increase in fuel and oil capacity. Updated engines gave slightly more power for take off and climb, but since the DC-7C was 17,000lbs heavier than the DC-7B performance was significantly reduced.
