• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

his package contains alternative textures for the FS2004 Alphasim Gloster Meteor, which is now available as freeware. The textures depict a Meteor Mk.8 flown by 324 squadron during the mid-fifties. The red on the tail and nose cone show to which squadron this aircraft belonged and the colour of the tail cone indicates that this aircraft was stationed at Twente or Volkel Air Base.

The Gloster Meteor Mk.8 entered service in the Royal Netherlands Air Force in 1951. They replaced the earlier Meteor Mk. IV and Spitfires which were still in service. The Meteor was phased out in 1958, when it was replaced by the Hawker Hunter. The transition to jet aircraft wasn't an easy one for the Royal Netherlands Air Force as 52 pilots lost their lives while flying a Meteor.

CREDITS: Alphasim / Virtavia for the original model and releasing it as freeware. Erik Hertzenberger, for making me do this repaint and Martin Wright for his indispensable DTX1 bitmap manipulator.

This should be it.

Enjoy,
