FSX B-26 CG 1/19 Gascogne

This repaint depicts an Invader from Group 1/19 "Gascogne," stationed in Indochina around 1952, with operational placements at Tourane and the Cat Bi airfield near Haiphong. Crafted by Martial Feron, the textures accurately represent the B-26B configuration commonly associated with Indochina-era deployments. These files are intended for Microsoft Flight Simulator X when used with the freeware Sim Outhouse Douglas A-26 Invader base model. The base package is required but not included here, and it is available in the Fly Away Simulation library.

Aircraft Background Details

The Douglas A-26 Invader, often designated B-26 in service years, is a twin-engined medium attack platform powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-2800-27 radial engines. Known for its reliability and adaptability, it was used extensively in various theaters. Group 1/19 "Gascogne" operated the Invader during missions involving forward deployments in challenging climates. In this repaint, subtle touches replicate authentic markings seen on aircraft engaged in Indochine operations.

Compatibility for Other Variants

The texture set can also be installed for the B26K model, if preferred, so long as the correct model paths and configuration entries align with your existing aircraft folder structure. Make sure that the intended aircraft model matches the naming conventions found within your simulator’s file hierarchy.

Installation Steps

1. Extract all contents of the zipped file into a convenient temporary folder.
2. Locate your main "a26_soh" directory and move the included "texture.Gascogne" folder into that same directory.
3. Edit your "aircraft.cfg" file located in the a26_soh folder by adding the following entry (modify “xx” to your next available sequence number):

[fltsim.xx]

Be sure that any minor details, such as panel and sound settings, suit your current simulator setup.
