I was going to post this in the Odds and Sods thread but it doesn't quite fit.

If you have a collection of the old Alphasim/Virtavia jets, you'll also want to grab their Sikorsky S-55 if you don't already have it.

The Sikorsky S-55 has unique Crew textures. The pilot uniforms aren't that old faded-and-worn flight suit that Alpha used for most of their aircraft.
The US S-55's use a darker green flight suit, like its a new set of cover-alls. Not a big deal in the old days, but at higher resolutions this texture can make a difference. :jump:

Grab the Crew texture from the RAF SAR folder. Its an orange "pumpkin suit" that looks GREAT in the B-57 (especially Mick's bare metal repaints) and 1950's-1960's era jets.

The other RAF texture folder has a blue flight suit with yellow Mae West. If you have the Virtavia TU-160, try this texture out. It also works well in any of their Russian jets that use the "common" CREW.bmp texture. If you have FS Repaint installed, you can check these textures out prior to swapping them around. :santahat:
