description=In the aftermath of WW2 a few G.12-Ts were employed by "Corrieri Aerei Militari", an interim government ministry delivering what would have been domestic airline services had the allies permitted them. Based in Rome (LIRA) the G.12-Ts maintained urgent aerial communication with Turin (LIMF), Milan (LIML), Sardinia (LIED), and Sicily (LICJ). Once allied controls ended in 1947 three survivors went into civilian markings as I-VIDA, I-VIDI, and I-VIDO, and were then leased to "Avio Linee Italiane" flying the same routes. Returned to government in 1948 they then served briefly with the post war Italian Air Force (AMI). For extensive wartime G.12T services and routes 1942 - 1945 see G.12 history.rtf in common folder.

description=The G.12T made its debut with 606 Sq in the spring of 1942. From July 1942 605 Squadron of 148 Group also began to replace its Savoia Marchetti S.73s with Fiat G.12Ts. By November 1942 Italian forces had retreated so far that the African air bridge was once again being flown from Sicily to Tripoli. 605 Sq were operating the other major air bridge from Rome (LIRA) through Bucharest (LRBS), and Odessa (UKOO and use only 25/07 grass), to Stalino (UKCC) where the Regia Aeronautica was now engaged in the Eastern front Donets'k campaign. G.12s gradually adopted the overall dark green camouflage for operation at wave top height over the sea as radar coverage from Malta improved and those operating from Sicily to Tripoli increasingly also had to hug the African coast from Tunis all the way to Tripoli. Supply flights to Africa increasingly operated at night, but were vulnerable to interception by Mosquito night fighters in good weather. Skin by Manuele Villa, September 2009.

The G.12T was an ultra long range variant. With full fuel the Fiat G.12T could carry only a single soldier plus kit. Full fuel and restricted payload is loaded by default in FS9 to allow the longest routes flown in real life to also be flown in FS9. This also allows wartime tanker missions to be flown (see G.12 history.rtf)

[Flaps.0]
Max flap was 48 degrees. The crew could select any angle. The angles below are the recommended angles for max gross departure and typical landing weight. I suspect the crew selected 20 then 45 during approach without using 15, but we must select flap stage by stage in MSFS. See on screen handling notes and 'How to fly the Fiat G.12'.
