FS2004 Air America Beechcraft D18S

A livery for the Beech D18S by Milton Shupe, Scott Thomas and Andre Folkers. This repaint has been intended to use with the "reflections" option in FS2004 on. Air America was a airline company owned by the US Central Intelligence Agency during the Vietnam war. It had an important role in organizing counterinsurgency in Laos. It run for this purpose an important fleet of Beechcraft D18 and C45. By Dominique Klein.

To add it :

• Go to the FS9 folder and make a copy of the "texture" original (Milton's) sub-folder.
• Rename the copy "texture.airamerica".
• Unzip your download into a temporary folder then cut and paste the five files into the new "texture.airamerica" sub-folder.
• Answer "all" when asked whether you want to replace the five original files.
• Declare the new livery in the aircraft.cfg. To this purpose, open aircraft.cfg with the notepad and add these two paragraphs:

• X and X+1 has to be replaced by the proper numbers depending on how many textures you already have for this airplane.
• Again, be sure the reflections option is ON in Options>Settings>Display>Aircraft in FS9

That's it! Have fun! Ah yes, get yourself FSGenesis mesh for SE Asia, it's cheap and brings a lot to flying in this region.
