File Description:
A repaint only for the payware Warbirdsim product 'Mustang Tales'. This repaint depicts the restored P-51D-25-NT 45-11391, "Boo-Man Choo", registered N51MV. This aircraft has a long civilian history, having been first registered with the FAA in 1963. In the 1990's, this aircraft became a popular sight when owned by Wally Sanders and painted as "Nervous Energy IV", and could sometimes be seen flown by the late, great Jeff Ethell. In the years since, the aircraft has passed through several owners, though the same over-all paint scheme has remained. In 2005, the aircraft's name was changed to "Luscious Lisa". In 2008, not long after having switched hands, the aircraft was damaged in a hard landing. For the next four years the aircraft was repaired and rebuilt, flying again in May 2012. The aircraft's most recent owner is Col. Ray Hofman, who now bases the aircraft in Midland, TX. The aircraft is now named "Boo-Man Choo", which is derived from the nickname of Col. Hofman's son, "Boo-Man". The nose art was inspired by the nurse character from the animated cartoon Animaniacs. This repaint features new bump maps, wheel well, gun bay, and cockpit textures.

File Description:
This is a repaint for the payware A2A Simulations AT-6 Texan. This repaint depicts the restored AT-6D 44-81506, owned by David Nock in the UK, registered as G-TDJN, and based at Halfpenny Green airfield. This particular aircraft was originally built for the USAAF in 1944, and in 1951 it was one of a hundred AT-6D's loaned to the RCAF, where it was operated until 1953. The aircraft was then acquired by the Panamanian AF, where it remained until 1967 when it was imported back into the US, at which time it was registered N7231C. David Nock acquired the aircraft in 2009 and had the US-based company Midwest Aero Restorations (noted for their authentic Mustang restorations) perform a full restoration on the aircraft. Completed in 2011, the aircraft won the Reserve Grand Champion WWII award at Oshkosh that year. The aircraft was restored in the authentic markings of AT-6D 43-13048, which was operated as a station hack by the 353rd Fighter Group during WWII, based at Raydon, England. The aircraft was imported into the UK in 2012, where it was re-registered as G-TDJN. Both UK and US registration options are provided with this repaint.

File Description:
**Revised March 20th 2012** After a lot of positive feedback from forum members, and some very constructive pointers and photos from Ryan (aka Tabs), I've revised the bumps to be a bit closer to a real-world appearance. So if you prefer a more exaggerated appearance (deeper lines, higher rivets) you may prefer the first set over this revision. A completely new set of spec files (for shine and reflection) and bump maps (for surface detail) to update the exterior of your PMDG 737-700 NGX. They can be used over any existing livery for the -700 model. The bump files are in 4096 res (default is 1024) so they will use more memory, but have no noticeable effect on performance on my low-end core2 duo system aside from a slightly longer loading time. The package includes two folders; one for the specular files and the other for the bump maps. Simply drop them into the aircraft texture of your choice and you're ready to fly. More detailed instructions for installation are included. The PMDG NGX base pack and 600/700 model expansion are required. Additional before and after photos are posted in the PMDG NGX support forum.
