This package contains alternative textures for the ex-donationware P-51C Malcolm hood version (now freeware), which can be found in the Sim-Outhouse libary. Although the textures are done for the FS9 version, they will work on the more or less identical CFS2 version as well. The textures are based on the paintkit by David Green.
The texture show the Mustang III FZ190 as in was used by 19 squadron RAF over Europe between January 1944 and April 1945. This repaint is based on a picture form this aircraft, while in was serviced at B12/Ellon Normandy France, during the summer of 1944.
As the British production of fighters was considered insufficient in 1938, the British government tried to purchase Curtiss P40 fighters in the USA. However the Curtiss factories were already producing on their limits and P40s were short in supply. North American, who were already delivering Havards to the RAF, were asked whether they could produce P40 in license. However North American Aviation stated they could design and build a better aircraft. The Mustang was developed for the RAF, which was also its first user. The first Mustangs were delivered in October 1941 and became operational in January 1942. The Mustang III arrived in late 1943 and remained operational until the end of WWII.
I want to thank the Anthony "Gramps" Sullenger and the rest of the FDG2 team for creating this model and donating it to the Sim-Outhouse. And of course Martin Wright for his simple but indispensable graphic tools, as without his dtx1 bitmap manipulator these textures simply wouldn't be there.

These textures show the Mustang III as flown by Flt Thomas Henry Drinkwater in March-February 1944. Drinkwater flew with 19 Squadron, until he was promoted and appointed as squadronleader of 122 Squadron in April 1944. On the 18th of May 1944 he failed to return from an armed reconnaisance mission over occupied France. He was shot by flak, flying this aircraft (FZ164) over the French town of Vouvray near Tours and crashed into a bridge. His aircraft carried the name of his bride "Wilf", which was short for Winifred.
The RAF Mustangs carried the same white identification marks as their American colleagues. These were applied to make the Mustangs easier to identify and to avoid confusion with square winged German fighters like the early Bf109s and the FW190.

This package has been modified by the SOH librarian emeritus on 16 April, 2024 to include the following update by Gavin:
This from Gavin; Here is my final update to the Salamander.
The zip file contains an updated external model that corrects the rudder and nose gear animations. I have also included a fresnel ramp map and a specular texture for the canopy, please feel free to adjust them to your hearts content.
.dds files go into the texture folder and the mdl overwrites the current file in the model folder.
Thanks Gavin!

The Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger (German, "People's Fighter") was a German single-engine, jet-powered fighter aircraft fielded by the Luftwaffe late in World War II. Developed under the Emergency Fighter Program, it was designed and built quickly and made primarily of wood as metals were in very short supply and prioritized for other aircraft.
