                                 Bluegrass Airlines - PBY-5A Catalina for FS2004 
=============================================================

Repaint by Paul van den Berg, BGAK036
May 2004

Using Mike Stone's white repaint textures, I recently have made this 'fantasy' livery for myself for the BGA CatJaunt continuation in FS9. (I started this trip in FS2002.)
I'm not an expert on repaints, but I'm trying and still learning. This Cat represents a non- existing Dutch Antilles registrated example, PJ-PBY. 
Bill Von Sennet invited me to make this livery available for all you BGA-airmen. Well, here it is! 
You are free to modify/alter this repaint even further if you so wish. 

Known bug: When selecting landing lights 'on' during night, it looks as if the whole aircraft is illuminated! During dawn or dusk, it is not so bad. I don't know how to overcome this bug. (Normal operating conditions is under VMC anyway...)

Also, enclosed you will find segments to revise your aircraft.cfg file, which makes the Cat MUCH slower and sloppier on the controls, and makes (I think) flying the Catalina more realistic. Maybe I have overdone things a bit, so any comments and/or tips to improve this .cfg even more, are MOST welcome!  I will scan the BGA-forum for these.

Also in the EFFECTS-section are some DC-3 effects (smoky start-up and lovely chirp sound on surface-landing). You need to have those effects on your system to show up, ofcourse.

For the 2D panel I use the "FS2002" panel, which is to me still the best looking PBY-panel around. 
No VirtualCockpit unfortunately. Are there any around? 

Credits to Mike Stone for making the Cat available for FS9 with this fine model and supplying us with the base textures for repainting!

Happy (water)landings,
