Textures for the wonderful Captain Sim Model Boeing 727-200 in the Dominican Airlines Livery (1990). The pride of the Dominican People since not only owned by the Government but its aircraft bear the names of dignified people and places. Ship insignia Duarte, Sanchez and Mella, founding fathers. The paint scheme displays high in the sky the flag colors of the Dominican Republic.
Hi-242 was christen after Duarte Boeing 727-200
HI-312 was christen after Sanchez Boeing 727-100
HI-212 was christen after Mella Boeing 727-100
Other aircraft were:
HI-442 Puerto Plata Boeing 707-320
HI-612 Luperon Boeing 727-200
HI-617 Quisquella Boeing 727-200
And Many More .
Sadly, service was discontinued in the early 90s and it remains collecting proceeds from other airlines using its routes. Maybe someday we will see it fly again.
MS Flight simulator 2002 and Captain Sim have contributed in providing the possibility to see our favorite aircraft
come alive once more!
To the flight sim community and very especially to all Dominicans, HAVE FUN!
This repaint includes enhancements such as lower hull aluminum skin with reflection, tail cone smoke effect, a more accurate rivet pattern, satin white paint with reflection and old age effects, Boeing 727 200 on turbines (as the original), etc..
Installation:
Find the aircraft.cfg file under the ...\FS2002\aircraft\legendary727_200 directory. Open it in notepad. Scroll down to find the last [fltsim.X] entry. Insert the following text after the "description =" line under that entry:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change the "X" in the "[texture.X]" to the next number up from the previous entry.
Change the "X" in the "[fltsim.X]" to the next number up from the previous entry. Save the file. That's it! You should find "Dominicana" under "Captain Sim".
Next you need to go to the 727 TCE Utility Program and reconfigure the aircraft to whatever takeoff weight you want and to the model and panel you'll be using. THAT'S IT!
Comment:
This is my first repaint and spent so many hours of work I lost count. Coming soon I will upload the Sanchez and Mella
and the Captain Sim Boeing 707-320 Puerto Plata when it becomes available shortly.
