FSX TAT Cessna C185F Skywagon

This is a repaint of the Carenado's payware Cessna C185 Skywagon. These textures represent a Cessna Skywagon of Talkeetna Air Taxi. These are textures only. By Russel R. Smith.

The included textures will work on the wheeled, ski and tundra versions. You can take the wheeled textures and make a float and an amphibian variant also. I just did not do any custom paint on the floats.

I have enclosed the aircraft config file for the one I use. You can modify the original to pick up texture.TAT, texture._TAT_S and texture.TAT_T. Extract the texture.TAT to the "Carenado C185F" folder and texture.TAT_S to the the "Carenado C185F Ski" folder and texture.TAT_T to the "Carenado C185F Tundra". The zip file contains all the necessary files for this texture scheme and are bmp files. Make sure "Use Folder Names" is checked so it will create the texture.TAT folder and texture.TAT_S and texture.TAT_T when you extract the files. You do not need to copy any additional files to the texture folders.

Change the 'X' to the next number in your config file!
