This freeware repaint brings a Bush Flying Unlimited-themed exterior to the Curtiss C-46A Commando for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. Originally developed in the mid-1940s, the C-46 was a robust twin-engined transport known for operating in remote territories, often delivering cargo and passengers across challenging routes. This particular repaint, crafted by Manuele Villa, showcases distinctive styling that complements rugged adventures in bush flying. It requires the freeware Curtiss C-46A Commando base model by Libardo Guzman and CalClassic, which is available in the Fly Away Simulation library as a separate download.
Visual Overview of the Livery
Above is a snapshot of the Bush Flying Unlimited Curtiss C-46A cruising over scenic territory.
Key Mod Features
- Exclusive Bush Flying Unlimited paint scheme.
- Detailed exterior texture enhancements for high-fidelity visuals.
- Accurate color matching and insignia placement reflecting the BFU theme.
- Seamless integration with the CalClassic Curtiss C-46A model’s framework.
Installation Steps
- Extract the folder named texture.BFU into the main GA_C-46 directory located within the “Flight Simulator 9/AIRCRAFT/” folder.
- Open the pre-existing Base texture folder and copy its contents into the newly placed texture.BFU folder. Be sure not to overwrite any current files in the texture.BFU directory.
