Two different textures , one is for an aircraft belonging to the 170^ Sq. while the other is an aircraft of 287^ sq.

Five seat Reconnaissance/bomber twin-float seaplane. Designed by Ing. Stiavelli and manufactured by Costruzioni meccaniche Aeronautiche S.A. (C.M.A.S.A.) at Marina di Pisa , the RS14 was one of the outstanding float seaplane of the Second World war. It was of exceptionally clean design.The proptotype was first flown in the 1938. The series production plane carried two 7.7 mm Breda Safat side mounted machine guns in hatches on the fuselage sides. The remaining difensive armament consisted of a Lanciani type E dorsal turret with a single 12.7 mm Scotti machine gun. All offensive armament was accomodated in a detachable ventral gondola which could house two 335 lb depth charges , four 220 lb bombs of various types, or six 88 lb or 110 lb bombs. Eight fuel tank were installed in wings fuselage and floats , total capacity being 648 Imp. gal.The aircraft operated in several strategic squadrons from bases in Sardinia and in the Aegean islands. Its main task was convoy escort, reconnissance role and in supporting naval operations. A total of 150 RS14 B (II^ serie) and C (III^ serie) was built by CMASA, but only about twelve in serviceable condition were available for the Regia Aeronautica on October the 28th, 1943, when the "Aviazione della RSI" was formed to continue fighting alongside the Luftwaffe, twelve having flown south in answer to Marshal Badoglio's call, ten of these reaching the Allied lines to operate from Taranto with the Italian Co-Belligerant Air Force.


How to install.
---------------------
Unzip the file in the FS2002/aircraft folder (check that 'use folder names' and 'overwrite existing files' are marked in winzip)and everything will be put in the right place. Then unzip gauges.zip, in \gauges folder of FS2002.

Then move /myflts folder into /flights folder of fs2002. This folder contain files for a situation which put the plane in the lagoon near the Cagliari Elmas airport in Sardinia.

Panel contained in this add-on uses many fs2002/Professional gauges besides others contained in the gauges.zip, so if you have only Fs2000 standard you need to use a default panel replacing that here installed.
