FS2004 C-46 Repaints

Textures only; requires C46GA.ZIP. Six repaints of US cargo and supplemental airline C46's from the 1950s. By Dave McQueen.

Installation:

• First, make sure that the base model (c46ga.zip) is installed on your system.
• Find the Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft\GA C46 folder. Or the Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\GA C46 folder.
• Unzip the 6 folders contained in this file and copy all or some of them to the "GA C46" folder.
• Using a text editor such as Wordpad open the c46aircraft.cfg file from this zip file and copy the sections for all or some of the paint schemes into the GA C46 folder's aircraft.cfg. IE copy and paste sections that look like the following:

[fltsim.6]
title = C46A Resort
sim = C46A
model =
panel =
sound =
texture = Resort
kb_checklists =
kb_reference = C46_Ref
atc_id_enable = 1
atc_id = N1838M
atc_id_color = 0x00000000
atc_id_font = Verdana, -11, 1, 600, 0
atc_flight_number = 38M
atc_airline = Resort
atc_heavy = 0
atc_parking_types =CARGO
atc_parking_code =FTR
ui_manufacturer = "Curtiss"
ui_type = "C-46A Commando"
ui_variation = "Resort"
visual_damage = 0
description = Curtiss C-46A\n\Resort Airlines circa 1957\n\Repaint by Dave McQueen\n\nThanks to Tom Gibson and the team at California Classic for sharing this wonderful airplane with us.

• Using the text editor paste them into the aircraft.cfg file under those sections already present. The first line of each new section has to be changed to be 1 number higher than the one that precedes it in the aircraft.cfg file. For example in the Resort section above if it was placed after the section that read [fltsim.7] in the first line, then the section above would need to be changed from [fltsim.6] to [fltsim.8]. The next one to [fltsim.9] and so forth.

You may include all 6 paint schemes or just the ones you want. You just have to make certain to adjust the aircraft.cfg as described above.
