**********Texas International DC-9-20 ver 1.0 repaint*********

HISTORY:

Houston, Texas based Texas International Airlines, Inc. was formed in the early 1940's as Aviation Enterprises and later changed their name to Trans-Texas Airlines or TTa. In 1968 the corporate name was again changed to Texas International to reflect growth into international markets. By the early 1980's, the carrier had major hubs at Houston Intercontinental and Dallas/Ft Worth Regional airports, a system which served cities from coast to coast, from the northeast to the southwest and more markets in Mexico than any other US airline! Expansion in the late 70's saw the formation of New York Air which served the northeast shuttle markets of Boston-New York/Newark-Washington D.C. That carrier later expanded itself to serve cities up and down the atlantic coast as far south as Florida. A failed attempt in the early 80's to aquire National Airlines yielded a cash windfall enough to give it the buying power it needed to purchase Continental Airlines. All three carriers were later merged, and because it was decided that the Continental name had a broader market appeal, the Texas International brand faded into history.

Get in touch with former TTa/TI employees or just stop by and take a look around the TTa/TI website created and maintained by a former TTa/TI Flight Attendant, Cheri Clark-Lowrey at:

INCLUDED:

This file contains Texas Internatioanl DC-9-20 textures only for The Vans Aircraft Company's "Mc Donnell Douglas DC-9 Beyond the Legacy" software. You must have the original software package for these textures to work. VAC website: http://www.vansairco.com

INSTALLATION:

1. Copy the texture.TI file into your main DC-9-20 folder.
2. Copy the following and paste into your DC-9-20 aircraft.cfg file (the cfg file can be opened with notepad):

[fltsim.x]
title=Texas Intl D92 vans
sim=VANSDC921
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=ti
checklists=
description=The Vans Co.\nMc Donnell Douglas DC-9 21\nCopyright The Vans Aircraft Company 2003
ui_manufacturer=Texas International
ui_type=DC 9-21
ui_variation=Texas Intl
atc_heavy=0
atc_id=TI D92
atc_airline=Texas International
atc_flight_number=790
visual_damage=1

3. Replace the "x" in [fltsim.x] with the corresponding number of texture installation. i.e.:
if you havent yet added a texture to your DC-9-20 folder, and because the Aeropostal texture is number 4, then the TI texture would be number 5 as it follows the Northwest installation.

4. Save your changes, fire up FS2002 and start flying for PEANUTS:)
