Aer Lingus - ATL98 Carvair (1960's)

Here is another Carvair repainted from David Henderson's great model of N98FA, the Custom Air Services aircraft based at Clayton County, Georgia.

I recently repainted a British example so, and then discovered that Aer Lingus used to fly them into my local airport at Glasgow. So, since there was quite a good picture of one in the excellent book 'Vintage Glory' by Adrian M. Balch, I decided to make this one.

The original model was made by David Henderson and the designer was Tom Johnson. Since it was made from a DC4, it has a complicated pedigree, involving Kevin Trinkle, Tom Gibson, Rich Boehinger and Les Penridge as well, but I only painted it. Thanks to all the clever people who were responsible for making this great model and permitting me to repaint it - and to Chuck Dome, whose TEXBMP utility allowed me to carry out the work. 
This is a FS98 aircraft. It doesn't need conversion.

INSTALLATION
Unzip the ZIP file into a temp file. If the aircraft files are in their folders then move
the folder(and contents)into the Flight Simulator98\AIRCRAFT folder. The path should be:
FS98\AICRAFT\Carvair(or whatever you name it) That's it!

***IN CASE FILES ARE SEPERATE AND NOT IN THEIR FOLDERS:***
you should have the following folders:
MODEL
PANEL
SOUND
TEXTURE

If this is not the case, then you need to put the .MDL file in MODEL, .af files in TEXTURE, panel.cfg in PANEL, and sound.cfg in SOUND. That should do it.

On my FS I used DC-4 sounds and Christian Conesa's generic propliner panel.

A few others, such as a Royal Nepal Airlines B757, a Titan Bae146 in their old beige and blue scheme (nicer than that combination sounds!) but I have'nt put these on any sites since I'm not 100% happy with them)

I'm working on an Icelandair DC6 at the moment, and possibly will soon start a DC4 from somewhere in South East Asia.

Happy flying,
