Nice bird Bob! I like that coloring a lot! Very 40-ish. However, could it be that you're missing some cockpit textures?
Though I find Africa to be uninteresting in Flight Simulator these are some nice shots. I like the second a lot!
I downloaded it from Simviation. There is no VC. Only a 2d cockpit. Maybe thats why it looks dark from the outside. It flies real nice and I like the sound of the radial engine.
A little history.
The Cessna 190 and 195 are light single engine general aviation aircraft which were manufactured by Cessna between 1947 and 1954. The 195 model was also used by the United States Air Force as a light transport and utility aircraft under the designation LC-126.
The Cessna 190/195 aircraft were Cessna's only postwar radial-engine aircraft. The first prototype (named P-780) flew in 1945, after the end of World War II. The biggest difference between the 190 and the 195 models was the choice of engine. The 195 used a Jacobs R-755-A2 radial engine with around 300 hp or a Jacobs R-744-A2 with 245 hp, while the 190 used a Continental R-670-23 radial engine with 240 hp. The Cessna 195B model used a Jacobs R-755-B2 engine of 275 hp. Over 1,100 model 190s and 195s were made, and many are still flown today.
For most pilots, the aircraft was too expensive for private use. Therefore, they were sold mainly as a business aircraft, and thus they were called businessliners. The LC-126 military version was mainly used in Alaska and could be fitted with skis or floats
