This repaint could not have been done without the kind help of Michael Davis of Alphasim. He let me use his master textures as a starting point for the repaint. Thank you!
Information about the real "T3-E" RF-84F in RNoAF service.
RF-84F Thunderflash "#51-17051" entered Norwegian service in 1956 and it was assigned to No 717 Squadron at Sola AB. It received the code T3-E, which was later changed to AZ-E. The RF-84F loyally served the RNoAF for many years. It had it faults, hot summer take off's were always a problem because of the low powered engine, but as a photo reconnaissance aircraft it was maybe one of the best ever build. The huge nose made loading and changing of cameras very easy. By 1969 the RF-84F were replaced by new RF-5A aircraft. Today you can see several RF-84F's at Norwegian aviation museums.
1. Install into your FS9/Aircraft root folder (with use folder names)
2. In order to make the zip as small as possible I have deleted all files that are not modified. So you have to copy these textures from one of the original RF-84F texture folders. One easy way is to copy them all and put them into the new texture folder and say NO when asked to replace files (then you only get the files you need and the new RNoAF textures are not overwritten).
3. Open the Aircraft.cfg file and copy and past the [flightsim.X] section from this readme. Where is says [fltsim.x] , add the next number in sequenc
[fltsim.X]
