FSX North American AT-6

A repaint for the Alphasim T-6 Texan. Livery of North American AT-6C Texan Le Luc - Le Cannet, June 24, 2007 F-AZYT / 32360/54-S-26 (cn 88-10050). Repaint by Martial Feron.

I used the model SNJ5 for the texture of the 54S AT-6F.

INSTALLATION

1. Unzip SNJ-5_54S.zip to a temporary folder, ensuring that you retain folder names.

2. Within the download, move the texture folder 'texture.F-AZYT' to the folder 'ALPHA T-6 Texan' within your 'Microsoft Flight Simulator XSimObjectsAirplanes' folder.

3. Open the aircraft.cfg with a text editor. Enter the following section under the last [flightsim.XX] entry, numbering it sequentially:

description=The North American T-6 Texan was an excellent design that served as a basic transitional combat trainer in all branches of U.S. service as well as in countries worldwide. U.S. Navy pilots utilised the type under the SNJ designation, the most common versions being the SNJ-4, SNJ-5 and SNJ-6. The RAF was very taken with the design and adopted it as the Harvard. Later versions were manufactured in Canada and the type saw service in countries worldwide. An excellent all-round trainer, the type was quite good at teaching new pilots to avoid the accelerated stall, as a wing would snap round quite unexpectedly if the pilot was unwary. Approximately 17,000 of the type were built and some 350 are still airworthy.
