This is a repaint of the Sikorsky S-38 NC4V "Molokai" for FS 2002 by George Diemer and Eliezer Rice. It will create a new aircraft selection for the "Spririt of Carnauba" paint scheme. The engine cowlings of the NC4V will be non-standard on the Carnauba.
Requires s38nc4v.zip
Repaint: Eliezer Rice
====
Installation in FS2002:
1- Unpack/extract the file into a temporary folder.
2- Copy the texture.Carnauba folder into the main folder of your Sikorsky S-38 NC4V "Molokai". This should leave you with a structure something like the following:
- c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002
--- Aircraft
----- Sikorsky S-38C NC4V
-------- Model
-------- Panel
-------- Sound
-------- Texture
-------- Texture.Carnauba
3- Open the aircraft.cfg file of your Sikorsky S-38 NC4V and add the following text:
>
[fltsim.1]
title=Sikorsky S-38 Spirit of Carnauba
sim=Sikorsky S-38C NC4V
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=Carnauba
checklists=
atc_id=NC6V
ui_manufacturer=Sikorsky
ui_type=S-38 Spirit of Carnauba
ui_variation=Red, black, silver, yellow
description=Twin-engined biplane amphibian. Used by S.C. Johnson to explore South America for source of raw materials.
atc_heavy=0
atc_airline=S.C. Johnson
atc_flight_number=NC6V
<
--Note: if you have already installed other texture versions of the S-38, adjust the numbering of [fltsim.1] in the above text. For example: [fltsim.2], [fltsim.3] ...
-Once these steps are taken, Flight Simulator 2002 should exhibit a new entry under Aircraft/Select Aircraft on the menu bar:
--Sikorsky / S-38 Spirit of Carnauba

Background:
The S.C. Johnson Company (Johnson's Wax) had an S-38 replica built which duplicated H.F. Johnson's pioneering expedition to Brazil in 1935. The "Carnauba" was flown from Racine, WI to Fortaleza, Brazil and back in October and November of 1998. You can see a lot of nice documentation of this plane and its adventures at www.scjcarnauba.com/carnauba.htm. There is also an article at http://sobering.terracom.net/eaa99/Carnuba/index.html.
