Repaint by Walter Myers

4 June 2003
Repaint textures only; requires LAGO's payware FS Falcon version 1.12 (available from http://www.lagoonline.com/). Works with all the LAGO F-16 models.
FREEWARE REPAINT FOR MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2002 (Fs2002)
This repaint may also work for Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 (CFS3), but I haven't tried it yet.
************** INSTALLATION *************
You may unzip this archive (folders enabled) directly into your FS2002/Aircraft/LAGO_F-16/ folder. It will not overwrite any original LAGO files. The unzipped archive will create a texture folder named "texture.CIVI_BLUE". This folder contains textures for all LAGO FS2002 model versions of the F-16.
You will need to update your LAGO_F-16/aircraft.cfg file in order to see this repaint. Examples:
[fltsim.xx]
title=LAGO F-16C Falcon Civilian Blue
sim=F-16
model=0
panel=1280
sound=
texture=wmBLUEsansTAILNO
kb_checklists=F-16_check
kb_reference=F-16_ref
visual_damage=1
description=LAGO FS Falcon. Repaint by Walter Myers. Clean. Tail number replicated.
ui_manufacturer=Lockheed Martin
ui_type=F-16C
ui_variation= Civilian Blue
atc_heavy=0
atc_id=N97228
atc_airline=
atc_flight_number=228
[fltsim.xx]
title= LAGO F-16D Falcon Civilian Blue
sim=F-16
model=3
panel=
sound=
texture=CIVI_BLUE
kb_checklists=F-16_check
kb_reference=F-16_ref
visual_damage=1
description=LAGO FS Falcon. Repaint by Walter Myers. 2-Seat trainer. Clean. Tail number replicated.
ui_manufacturer=Lockheed Martin
ui_type=F-16D
ui_variation=Civilian Blue
atc_heavy=0
atc_id=N97228
atc_airline=
atc_flight_number=228
Note that you must replace [fltsim.xx] with the next consecutive number value in your aircraft entries, e.g., [fltsim.23]. Again, these textures will work for all F-16 versions (A-D) and all LAGO aircraft model variations (0-8).
NOTE that some LAGO model versions replicate the registration (as contained in the atc_id= value in the aircraft.cfg file) on the F-16 tail, and some dont. Specifically, models 0,1,2 & 3 do replicate the value in atc_id=, while models 4,5,6,7 & 8 do not. In order to accommodate this feature, Ive included two repaint versions of the tail. These tail versions are contained in two subfolders:
Subfolder TAIL SANS REGISTRATION contains a tail texture (f-16cr_t.bmp) that has a blank area for display of the value in atc_id=.
Subfolder TAIL WITH REGISTRATION contains a tail texture (f-16cr_t.bmp) that already includes my personal registration preference, N97228 in white letters.
In order to use one of these tail textures, simply copy the f-16cr_t.bmp texture of your choice and past it into the folder texture.CIVI_BLUE, replacing the existing f-16cr_t.bmp. The default f-16cr_t.bmp contains blank area for display of the value in atc_id=.
********** WHY A CIVILIAN F-16? *********
Ive never heard of a privately owned F-16 (yet), but it sure would be fun to have one to call my own. If I did, this is how I might paint it.
