FS2004 Air America Beechcraft D18S

Air America repaint for Milton Shupe’s Beechcraft D18S captures the CIA-linked Vietnam-era workhorse with a reflective finish tuned for glossy metal effects and accurate markings. Designed for FS2004, it supports both virtual cockpit and non-virtual cockpit variants and requires the Beech D18S base aircraft with reflections enabled for best results.

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.
