USAAF, bare metal prototype, 1940.

Sweet! But shouldn't the vertical rudder stripe be insignia blue? Same for the 1941 skin.

It was supposed to be blue as part of the American national aircraft insignia. Absent color photos, I don't know about those specific planes, but it seems unlikely that the Douglas paint shop would make such a major error twice, after many years of cranking out planes for the Air Corps with the markings in the correct colors.

I have uploaded the FS9 ONLY version, full package; the FSX and P3D v4 versions will follow.

These are "Pre-Beta" packages; they have issues. If you want an error-free package, do not download this file.

The 2D panel and sounds are temporary.

Read the docs for operational hints.

You may report any issues here in this thread; there are several known ones yet to be corrected and yours may not be known. :)
 
Steve, with regard to your prototype and 1941 USAAC repaints, thank you very much for making them and adjusting them with the proper blue stripe on the rudder. Just one more correction, if you could...

The number of red/white stripes on the rudders of these aircraft (all USAAC aircraft painted so) was always 13 - 7 red stripes and 6 white stripes, matching that of the American flag.

That's what happens when you get a MiGaholic painting USAAF schemes:biggrin-new:.
Will fix it but will prob be tomorrow before It gets re uploaded.

Thanks for the correction.

Another Pacific veteran....

Not yet done, but just to tease you :biggrin-new:

I don't know why this aircraft was called "Ridin High"as I always thought the A-20s in the Pacific were used for low level strafing missions, while the European based A-20s were used for mi-level tactical bombing......

Cheers,
Huub
 
Well, all I have at the moment is very WIP, but it shows where I am going. 84th Bomb Sqn, 47th Bomb Grp, North Africa, 1943. Actually the real machine was a "B" model so a bit of artistic license is required - they were very close in appearance. :)

I will make it for all three sim versions as the others that have been done have already been made for use with the FSX native/P3D versions.

Steve, they look great! I was trying not to be dogmatic in the absence of color photos, but I knew that couldn't be right.

John, good eyes; I didn't even see the stripe shortage.

No Worries Mick I appreciate the assist. I very rarely paint USAAF.

Downloaded the pre beta, she handles great. Only issue is the fuel, I changed it but it keeps changing back to 26% max LOL. But I am glad to have a great A-20 for FS2004!

The fuel management seems to have some issues along with other Load Out things. Frankly, I am quite unhappy about the whole thing and will likely remove the Load Out screen and options altogether. The issues detract from the overall project.

I think we can do better with simplicity. I appreciate everyone's honesty about these things.
