Just in case you check back here Frequent Flyer, I have solved the texture issue.

Go into the aircraft.cfg and change the Model=1 to Model= in fltsim.3

Model 1 is the small tail version, so the textures are in different positions.

I've never touched the repainting, so it's learn as I go time, that solves the problem though.

You'll need to adjust the textures to get things in the right place, but here's what it looks like with your texture on it...

I just finished repainting it
Grizzard (and LeeC, if interested), please PM your Email so I could send you the files.
Also, may I upload this texture to SimV? (LeeC, I have included credit for your excellent cartoon).

Thanks so much to you both .... I really appreciate it.  I will proudly re-fly the tracks I made with this plane from 1970 to 1975 from it's home base in Yuma to Seattle/Boise/Chicago/Lexington/Denver/Las Vegas and many stops in between. Great memories ... and now I can redo them!!   

You bet, although from Yuma scenery can get pretty boring if your not into rocks. :^)))   Arid and rocky but the sun always shines!!  My favorite passenger flight out of Yuma was to fly North up the Colorado River and land and have breakfast at a cafe on Martiniz Lake (You may have to land at Yuma Proving Grounds now though). Then up the Colorado taking a swing on the California side to wave at any climbers on Picacho Peak then head north and land at Blyth, Calif. (there was a P51 as I remember pushed up against a hanger with canvas hanging over half of it)  or you could do an exploratory trip eastward around sheep filled peaks  landing east of Castle Rock on one of the locals short airstrips to chew the fat and admire their desert collection of blue bottles, antiques and rocks, then after that, back on track up to Parker for fuel and checking for wild donkeys along the way. After lunch up to Havasu City with the Colorado on your left side and take a look at London Bridge at Havasu (yes, they actually bought it and shipped it over) .... from there to Bullhead City and jump in the free ferry across the Colorado to Laughlin, NV for a little gambling,  then back over to Kingman (east and somewhat out of the way) where at the time a bunch of Connie Tri-Tails were stored ... and maybe some used for freight, (I can't remember).  And the last leg landing at Boulder City flying over Hoover Dam (Boulder Dam) along the way ... and maybe one more, Las Vegas (KLAS).

Oh .... you probably want the airport designators?  :^))  No GPS in those days ... and all Dead Reckoning in my Stinson. 

Here's what FSX might show.  KYUM (Yuma International R26/8) - KLGF (Yuma Proving Grounds) - KBLH (Blyth, CA) -  P20 (I believe this is Parker)  - KHII (Havasu City)  - KP06 (Bullhead City, AZ) -KIGM (Kingman, Az) and  61b (Boulder City).

Remember ... a lot of this is arid and dry, but normally georgous flying weather. If there are scenery files along the river that might make it more enjoyable.  I almost never flew high for personal flying and often landed on some of the very flat areas in the desert just for practice  ... not an airport or airstrip ... just desert.  Dumb ... but I did it.

If anyone finds that interesting I'll do more  .... :^))

LeeC,
  I enjoy the vintage prop planes also and have been flying the Connie Tri-Tail a bit lately and trying to record with FRAPS. I say "trying" because of black bars that keep coming up on the sides ... which turned out to be a problem with my dual monitor setup ... but I had given up and already posted on youtube  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyyHoTRtveI  Another prop vintage I enjoy is the Howard 500 and recently posted a video with it too ...   

Anyway ... keep my email handy should you in the future want more routes in 42 Charlies history ...   

Now .... I am anxiously waiting for my Stinson ...   

WOW .... THAT is fabulous Frequent Flyer!  Perfect color, perfect model, perfect squirrel!!  I'm like a kid in a candy store ... and last night I was like the kid who couldn't sleep because he knew Christmas was coming.  And I love the T-shirt ...  :^))  I'm already late for a doctor's appointment because I could not get away from doing some test flying ... :^))  Thanks again for your professional work .... thanks to you both. There are some good memories coming up from your efforts ...

I appreciate,

Did mine get lost in the post?   

Without a doubt, one of the best threads since membership.  Now, before I have a senior moment, show the final repaint - or did I miss it - another senior thing .
