Those are not official, they are just me on a quiet night. But I think they still work!Good luck.

Thanks Mark,Patches applied, now for the repaints. Can I apply any of the repaints to any of the models ? I'd like to put a civvie paint job on one of the All Theatre planes with the upgraded VC ... ThanksGary

I forgot to mention the sextant, by the way. Again, that's not a MAAM-SIM addon, just works with it, that's all (and appropriate to the DC-3, that's what the astrodome is for!)No, Gary, the paints are not all interchangeable, I fear, owing to texture mapping changes/improvements on the later models. You'll find a few things topsy turvy. You could try, but I wouldn't spend too much time on it. Rather, look for repaints to suit.I shall be releasing a few myself in due course :)MarkMark "Dark Moment" BeaumontVP Fleet, DC-3 AirwaysTeam Member, MAAM-SIM[a href=http://www.swiremariners.com/cx.html" target="_blank]http://www.paxship.com/avsimlogo.jpg[/a]
