Air Anglia

Air Anglia was formed in 1970 by the merger of three Norfolk (England, not Virginia!) based 
companies, Anglian Air Charter, Norfolk Air, and Rig Air, who already owned this aircraft.
Shortly afterwards it was joined by a second C47 (G-ANTD) and in the Spring of 1972, the 
new company started a twice weekly service from Norwich to Rotterdam. However, in 1973 G-AMPZ
was sold to Intra Airways of Jersey. Subsequently it went to Aces High and Harvestair, and
up to a short time ago it was in use by Air Atlantique. It may still be!

Some day you may see another repaint in the colours of Harvestair, but they used it mostly as an 
anti-oil pollution sprayer keeping the North Sea free from damage caused by oil spills. 
I wont be able to add spray bars, but it spent some time without them too.

This is another repaint of Marcel Ritzema and Alexander Schmidt's magnificent DC3. 
I've fitted a modified AIR file which makes it more steerable on the ground. (Sorry, but
I've lost my original download, so I can't credit the person who carried out the modifications
since I don't know his name). If you don't like it, because it can make the plane bounce a bit
when turning, just delete the Air File and re-name the file called 'AIR.orig' as AIR and you
will have a normal, fairly unsteerable FS taildragger!
 
INSTALLATION

As with all my aircraft, this should simply be a matter of unzipping with Winzip straight 
into the AIRCRAFT directory of your FS98. However, I always unzip other people's aircraft 
into a temporary folder first, and this is probably a good routine to adopt, just in case!
Anyway, once you have the folder in the AIRCRAFT directory, you can fly it, and have a look 
at it, but it won't have the correct yellow until you complete the next process.
Open up the folder marked 'Air Anglia C47' and inside you will find another folder called 
'modified colour palette'. Open up this and follow the instructions to install the alternative
palette into your TEXTURE folder, and the colour of the yellow cheatline will change. I don't
believe there are any other colour changes, so there is no real problem about using this 
alternative palette - I think the deeper yellow is more useful anyway. However, if you find 
that you are not happy with it, provided you have followed Dave McQueen's instruction properly,
you will have the old palette which you can easily put back.

As with all aircraft, download a good panel and sound - it makes a huge difference to the 
flying experience. For the C47, first choice has to be the Rambow/Chaffin/ Vimmer panel, which
also comes with pretty good sound, but if you find the download is too big (about 12MB if I 
remember correctly), there are lots of other good DC3 panels and sounds available at 
WWW. Flightsim.com and elsewhere.

Nothing in this zip file should harm your computer. However, if you think that it has, by 
downloading and installing this file, you have accepted responsibility.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

sent me the original all white aircraft which still remains on the top of the fuselage, and 
Dave McQueen, whose alternative colour palette made the Air Anglia colour scheme possible.
