allow overwrites
fire up game, take off and go pass gas

    KNOWN ISSUES

This was originally an AI only aircraft. I added Dels C-130 pit so that it was flyable and I could check my work. That said, it is best to not fly from the cockpit as the Hercules' window frames don't match with the Stratotanker's windows.

   UNIQUE FEATURES

As with most of my large aircraft mods, the skins are tga based. this means if you look for a Baby Shamu skin, you will only see a plain grey skin. When you fire it up in game, you will see a mix of ADC Grey and Baby Shamu.

AT THE START OF EACH SERIAL NUMBER IN THE DROP DOWN IS A LETTER, (a) FOR ADC Grey WITH FULL COLOR AND (s) FOR THE CAMO'D Baby Shamu SCHEME WITH SUBDUED MARKINGS

Recommended Comments

Because of the mix of ADC light gray birds with full color markings, and the baby Shamu (or dark grey) birds in subdued tactical markings, i have the Shamu placed in as tga, and it shows up on the numbers that start with an s( for shamu). a is for ADC grey. sorry, should have mentioned that in the readme
