Ya, I ended up painting that one myself, the Orangish / Tangerine color & white with silver engine cowlings, it was all just ugly gray. Then I ended up swapping the Sound file with a Douglas DC-3 Propliner, sounds a little more vintage and like an older propliner now !  Heres my latest "Propliner" Video -----} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4um_IGXj_0

That plane looks nice, you should take your screenshots from a closer point of view ;)

Tip: in the external view, you can get the camera closer to the plane by using the key combos CTRL+'+' and CTRL+'-'. This is not a zoom, it's really the position of the camera. Once your camera is closer (takes a while, the movement is extremely sloooooooooow), you can adjust the zoom to your taste, I recommend 0.80 or 0.70.

Actually I took these photos while I was in mid-Air suspended by my Parachute with a disposable camera, then had to jump back in thru the cockpit window as the aircraft flew-by,, I'll have to remember that + &- stuff as I'm hanging on fer dear life at 7,600ft !!! :-X ::) :o ;)
