GAF F4F 37+03 update

[james84]

Just a question... are there repaints of "ordinary" German Tornados?
I have the MAIW package for the training units at Holloman, but does anyone know whether paints for the units based in Germany are available?
Here are the German Tornado bases
JBG32 Lechfeld
JBG33 Büchel
JBG31 Nörvenich
AG51 Schleswig - Jagel
LIR1 Erding (Overhaul)

Oh Goodness! Graham King's website is always useful!
Ray, PM sent for the special Tornados!

Just installed these colourful Tornados...
I've added them alongside with Graham King's repaints and looked where the aircrafts are assigned. All the registrations are not present in Graham's package except for AG51's 45+06, which you just have to overwrite.
Here are the aircraft.cfg entries I've made with correct info for the wing the aircrafts belong to, I hope you'll find them useful!
(ui_variation data taken from the aircraft.cfg file included in Graham's package with slight modifications)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Unlike Graham, who used the IDS model, Ray has painted the textures for the AMI (=Italian) model. Thus all the following entries refer to the latter. So remember that you MUST have both the IDS and AMI models if you are going to install Ray's and Graham's repaints in the same folder! (If I'm not wrong, the AMI model is available in MAIW's Italian Tornado package)

i used the ami model as all the other models in the PAI folder were blank when the texture was applied? (GR1,GR4,IDS)

[Firebird]

That's because the bitmap is called something different according to the model used.

pai_torami_t
pai_torids_t
pai_torgr1_t
pai_torgr4_t

A simple rename will enable you to use it with the model you want.

AH HA ! you see something so simple and i just never looked cheers steve

[f4nutter]
