RAF textures for Vickers Viking?

Post by aeroart »

I just saw what looked like a Vickers Viking with RAF textures go by on the home page. I have the Viking with BEA and BWIA texures, and I would also like the RAF markings. I'm not sure if the aircraft was actually a Viking or one of its look a-likes. I searched FltSim.com and simviation.com, but nothing turned up. Any ideas where I can find those textures and whichever airplane went with them?

Thanks for your help.

Just downloaded it. Thanks, Garry and John.

I first searched this website, but there were a lot of "empty" links in the Vickers files under Library. Was I looking in the wrong place?

The file I downloaded from the link John provided was Vickersvaletta2k2k4.zip. Is that the same one that's somewhere in CBFS? If not, how do I access yours?

Ok, I think I got it. I Googled the file name, and it led to Rick Piper's site. The Valetta file name there is the same as above. Plus, I downloaded a patch. That should answer my earlier question.

Thanks again.

P.S. Does anyone else think "Googled" or "Googling" sounds weird, as in "I Googled Betty." Should we have shared a cigarette afterwards?

Hi Art :hello:

Ricks site is old and hacked

It should be in the library here but is probably a victim of the recent server change

Maybe Ben could check out the library link

The BritSim link should be a very up to date version too.

At least you know what you're looking for :worried:

I installed it, and with a little tampering (installed default DC-3 sound and Viking panel), it looks great, sounds great, and flies great. Nothing else is needed.

Thanks for your help.
