Two sets of reflective texture are contained in the compressed archive, one for a Republic of Korea Air Force (RoKAF) aircraft and the other for an aircraft of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).
Installation
To install this aircraft into fs2004 simply extract all of the content of the archive into the FS2002 or FS2004/aircraft folder. Be sure to check the Use Folder Names button, if not already checked. Winzip will do the rest for you.
The FS model has many moving parts: flaps, ailerons, rudder, elevator,steerable tail wheel linked to the rudder, rotating wheels with suspension, and opening door and right side window. It also has a detailed interior with pilot.
The original 2D panel made by Brahim Rhoul for fs2000, has been modified by me to be used with the present version of the model. It is a highly realistic panel based on a photograph of the real thing, has a pedestal and outside view windows. All the instruments are functional, with joystick movement and night lighted instruments.
In the zip there is a folder called L-19_pnl containing the original files from B. Rhoul and a document which explains various functions of the panel. Please take note that that description refer to the old original panel and not to the present one. The new panel differs having a completely new set of gauges made by D.G. Seeley, but the general configuration reflect the older one.
To use the panel with Fs2002 there is an alternate panel configuration file fs2kpanel.cfg contained in the panel folder, just exchange the default one for fs2004 with that above , renaming it panel.cfg. Differences of the two configurations are limited to the different type of GPS gauge file.
The L- 19 (O-1E) Bird Dog
Built as a private venture and first flown in December 1949, the model 305 was the winning contender in an April 1950 US Army competition for a tandem two-seat liaison and observation monoplane. Ordered in June 1950 as the L-19 and named Bird Dog, the aircraft was redesigned O-1 in 1962. The first production Bird Dog was rolled out in November 1950. Subsequently a total of 2,499 of the O-1A version was built. A further 66 were completed as O-1Bs for the US Marine Corps and 307 with dual controls, known as TO-1Ds. The definitive series model was the O-1E, of which 494 were delivered. The last mentioned variant, introduced in 1957, featured uprated equipment, and served with distinction with the USAF in Vietnam. Fuji in Japan built 14 L-19E-1 and eight L-19E-2 instrument trainers after delivery of 107 ex-US Army L-19As to the JGSDF in 1954/55, with the local name of SOYOKAZE (Breeze). Despite their age, more than 200 Bird Dogs remain in active military inventories worldwide, the principal operators being the South Korean Air Force(20), and the army air components of Pakistan (40), Thailand (28),and Turkey (50). Other operators include Austria (5), Italy (3) and Malta (5).
