You're right, It is a CFS 2 file.

I looked a little deeper, this is one of the 1% aircraft designed by Avhistory.org.  Here's the link...

OK. I finally tracked it down. Downloading it now to check it out. It's just possible it's an older FSDS1.x design in which case I might be able to tweak it with Tcdfsview to improve the display. I'll let you know but don't hold your breath.

Avhistory usually improve other designers' work & don't do the original designs themselves.

Latest update. I checked it out in FS2002. It's definitely a CFS2 multi-LOD design & looks just the same on my system. The good news is that it's an FSDS1.x design & tweakable with Tcdfsview. The bad news - no luck so far with the usual tweak but I'm more used to CFS2 aircraft. This would be time-consuming as it's a matter of trial & error.

You might like to have a play around yourself. Download Tcdfsview here. http://www.simviation.com/fs2000utilities_ess2.htm
Use it to open the MDL file & experiment with the zoom values. The higher the zoom value, the smaller it will display in the sim on the standard zoom setting. I've already tried the zoom 7 & zoom 10 values which usually work for this sized aircraft. Don't go higher than the default zoom value of 16.

PS. There's no guarantee this will fix it. You could spend hours messing around with no luck. It might be better to find another P-40. IMHO

What's the web address for that Catalina? Best one I've seen. Will have to convert it to float though.

They have lots of nice stuff. I have their CFS3 P-40 and their French Dewoitine for CFS2.

Here ya go Orenda. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?loc=graham&page=category&cat=American
I think it's a true amphibian, meaning it already floats.  ;)
