FOKKER F27-500 BAC Express "Midland Trader"
G-JEAD



Thanks must go to Mike Stone for another freeware aircraft for all to enjoy. Please visit his site and view the wonderful aircraft he has created and his future projects on the drawing board, a great forum is also there!!
Midland Trader is based at Birmingham International Airport, EGBB it was previously owned by Jersey European. Every night the Dart turboprops whistle into life as she departs EGBB around 22:00 often off to Brussels and returns about 05:00 after a hard nights work.Sadly this is the only time we see such a classic at EGBB and hopefully she will be there for some time yet.
I would like to thank Umberto Noto for the original fuselage textures which I adapted heavily to meet the tail on the BAC aircraft, I changed the windows for ones that match identical to the ones on the original aircraft. Also Bob May for the Titles adapted from his Superb Shorts 360 in BAC colours ( available at SurClaro )
I would also recommend a visit to BAC Express web site a really useful site with a distance calculator and bags of info on their fleet!!

TO INSTALL

YOU WILL NEED THE FOKKER F27 PACK TO USE THESE TEXTURES
please go to Mike's site at www.pmstone.com You also get a great panel! Good Dart turboporp sounds are available at SurClaro and Avsim, well worth adding these...

Download the original Fokker F27 then just unzip this file to the aircraft folder of your FS2002. All will be done automatically then, you will not overwrite any of Mike's F27's this will be in addition to those included in his file!! Then Open the F27-500 folder and add this to the aircraft.cfg file just cut and paste.

"Replace X with the next number that follows the last aircrfat in your cfg file"

Hope you like this one! I have added light reflective textures to the under fuselage, engines etc. But I have not made the paintwork of the cabin and tail reflective. I find it gives a washed out appearance and not very realistic.
Animated night textures and frame rate friendly!! opening doors just hit the key you assigned this to in your FS.


If you have any thoughts then please mail me not Mike as he will not offer support for 3rd party textures (I dont blame him!)
If you want to see more of my work then please visit SurClaro where ALL of my work has been uploaded to plus Avsim and FSFreeware.com these last two have a fair amount of it. Also if you like the older prop liners ie: Viscount Vanguard and aircraft of that era go visit
