32bit/no mipmaps texture files depicting 1958 KLM Super Connie PH-LKA "Isotoop". You need to have Mike Stone's Super Connie package installed ( 'sconnie.zip', available at all major FS related sites or Mike's own hangar at http://www.pmstone.com/ ) in order to for these textures to have any meaning.
If you haven't done so already, in addition you might want to install the latest edition of the Connie panel/FD upgrade/Connie Flight Manual package ( VNCON20.ZIP , available at a.o. www.SurClaro.com, www.SurClaro ) by Hansjoerg Naegele,Wolfram Beckert,Howard Sodja,Jan Visser.You won't be dissapointed.
PH-LKA ( type 1049E c/n 4553, formerly registered as PH-TFZ ) entered KLM service on 25 May,1954. It has been put out to lease to Air Ceylon as 4R-ACH until 1958 and again in 1960/61 to Iberia as EC-AQL. Its service ended in December 1962 and in July 1964 it was dismantled. Virtually,hopefully, it will live on forever, in any case i have givin it my best shot.
INSTALLATION :
1. Unzip the content of this file to a temporary directory.
2. Copy the folder "texture.lka" to your FS2004 Mike Stone Super Connie folder.
3. Open the 'aircraft.cfg' file which you'll find inside the above mentioned folder.
4. Find the last [fltsim.x] entry in your Connie aircraft.cfg and copy and paste the following text underneath it :
[fltsim.x]
title=KLM Super Constellation PH-LKA
sim=Connie
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=lka
panel_alias=
sound_alias=
kb_checklists=Lockheed_L-1049G_check
kb_reference=Lockheed_L-1049G_ref
atc_id=PHLKA
atc_id_enable=1
ui_manufacturer=Lockheed
ui_type=Super G Constellation
ui_variation=KLM PH-LKA "Isotoop"
description=KLM Super Constellation PH-LKA "ISOTOOP" . Type 1049E c/n 4553. In service from 25-05-1954 until 01-12-1962. Dismantled in July 1964.
atc_heavy=0
atc_airline=KLM
atc_flight_number=KL275
visual_damage=1
atc_parking_codes=
atc_parking_types=GATE,RAMP
5. Replace 'x' in [fltsim.x] with a number to follow the last entry. ( if the last entry in your Connie aircraft.cfg reads [fltsim.4] then replace 'x' with 5 )
6. If you use the upgraded flight dynamics by Wolfram Beckert ( highly recommend! ) remember to replace ' sim=Connie' in the aircraft.cfg to the same name you see in all [fltsim.x] entries above this new one you have just entered. ( like thus : sim=L1049G_FS9 )
That should do it, your KLM PH-LKA "Isotoop" should now turn up in your FS9 Select Aircraft menu under Lockheed/Super G Constellation.
THANKS! to John Howard White for letting me use part of his excellent MAX rendered L-049 bare-metal skin and to Hansjoerg Naegele,Wolfram Beckert and Howard Sodja for their wonderful work and inspiration.
