Thank for downloading this repaint. This download contains the textures only for the Maule M-7-260 package (m7260_v1.zip); it will work with any of the versions of the Maule (Amphibian, Wheel/Ski, Taildragger (Oleo Gear), Spring Steel Gear and Tricycle). Please read the Acknowledgements at the end of this Readme.
TO INSTALL:
1. Extract "n309ma".zip" into a folder of your choice. It should extract as a complete folder called "texture.n309ma" but if it does not, then make a folder of this name and move all of the extracted files into it - except for file_id.diz, any .jpg files and README.txt (which aren't needed in the texture folder).
2. Copy+paste the folder "texture.n309ma" into any of the versions of the Maule that you want in this repaint.
3. In each of the Maule versions to which you have added "texture.n309ma", locate and open the "aircraft.cfg" file (use WordPad) and find the block of text that begins "[fltsim.0]". You may find several similar blocks of text, one beneath the other, separated by a blank line and each beginning with "[fltsim.X]" where X=the next numeral in sequence. Now copy+paste the appropriate version of text from the list below, as the next in the sequence of text blocks (REMEMBER to change the "X" in "[fltsim.X]" to the next numeral in sequence and also leave blank lines above and below the block):
