SGA A300 - adding new texture

Post by righthandseat »

I have the SGA A300 base file and want to add the British Caledonian A300 using the bcala300.zip file from AVSIM. When I unzip this latter file the textures are for the A300 BUT the text for modifying the SGA A300 aircraft.cfg in the zip file's "readme" refers to DM's BAC 1-11 (!)
"[email protected]" (a given contact for the repaint file) does n't appear to be 'at home'. Can anyone point me in the direction of, or perhaps offer, the correct [fltsim.X] text for bcala300.zip

extract from - bcala300.zip:-
3-Jun-05 01:44 texture.BC1/ >refers to A300
952 3-Jun-05 01:07 Readme.txt ******* > refers to BAC 1-11
360 27-Apr-04 04:57 avsim.diz

thanks

Assuming that you have the Eastern version installed, the changes to "aircraft.cfg" to include the BCAL are shown below. basically you add [fltsim.1] and then make the appropriate changes. Most important is the texture line.

Ignore the readme - the textures provided match the names of the original textures and hence are likely to be for the A300 and not the 111.


[fltsim.0]
title=SGA A300B4-200 Eastern
sim=a310
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=ea
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_airline=Eastern
atc_flight_number=472
atc_id=N214EA
atc_heavy=1
ui_manufacturer=Airbus
ui_type=A300B4-200
ui_variation=Eastern Airlines
description=Fictional N214EA tribute livery...less a tribute and more a "please leave me alone now..."
visual_damage=1

[fltsim.1]
title=SGA A300B4-200 BCAL
sim=a310
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=BC1
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_airline=BCAL
atc_flight_number=472
atc_id=G-BKWT
atc_heavy=1
ui_manufacturer=Airbus
ui_type=A300B4-200
ui_variation=BCAL
description=Fictional G-BKWT livery...should be on an A310
visual_damage=1
