Matching airfield for Maraudering

[ian elliot]

Once you have Milton and team's Marauder in your hangar, you'll need somewhere to fly it from,

Matching USAAF st161 ( RAF Matching Green ) for FSX-Acc


Home of 391BG Marauders of the 9th USAAF from January to September 1944


You will need objects by IanP found here---


http://www.ianpsdarkcorner.co.uk/fli...ect-libraries/


Download and install all three by Ian, Ted and Bill, as ive used objects from all.


Ive also included a basic traffic file using John Youngs FSX Martin Marauder AI, found at Avsim, look for jyai_b26_fsx_1.zip.
Please bear in mind that the AI B26's are in the wrong unit markings for Matching, the aircraft represent the 323BG out of Earls Clone,
and were originally made for Brian Clarks EC scenery for FS9, which i try'd to get working in FSX without much luck, figured it would
be easyer to make up an airfield fresh. If anyone wants to have a go at repainting the 26's in 391BG markings, that would be great.


enjoy, cheers ian

Ian,

If you have any info on what squadrons were based there, I could knock up some paints for the AI B-26.
I've been looking for something to get me back in the paintshop after 8 months of nothing FS related and
this could be the project to do it. Atleast till they release PvP for Ghost Recon Wildlands.

a quick look through my reference books mention's 572nd, 573rd, 574th, and 575th Bomb squadrons, a yellow or white triangle on the tail seems to be a standard feature on B26's with these units, and looking through Miltons Marauder thread, it looks like Duckie has already done a repaint for one of these units,

thanks ian

Ian, thanks for this one, but I'm afraid this triggered a bold request I would like to make.

Currently Milton as working on a FSX native version of the DB7 Boston/A-20 Havoc. The UK stationed Havocs could be found at Wethersfield
http://www.416th.com/wethersfield.html

I already did a few repaint depicting aircraft based at Wethersfield. Perhaps you could make a suitable home for them....................
I don't know whether it is possible to use the old Alphasim Boston as static scenery, but if possible I am available to make a suitable skin for them

Cheers,
Huub

"Joker" from 647th BS, 410th BG, 9th AF, USAAF. The repaint shows the aircraft as it looked during summer 1944, when it was stationed at Wethersfield UK.

I've got Little Walden on the board already (409th BG (Light)) and almost done. There's very little that I have, unfortunately, regarding their insignia and markings. The advantage of that particular group is that they flew both the A-20 and B-26

There's still a sort of backwater plan in my head to create a "RAF Sutton Craddock" as well, but that's not even really been thought through yet, let alone an appropriate bit of Yorkshire identified to put it on.

Hi Ion, looking forward to someplace to park my B-26s! Just as an FYI, the 2 England based Marauders I'm working on are 494th and 495th BS, 344th BG, both based at Stansted, Essex.

Huub, very nice job on the A-20, especially that "broken in" look! Look forward to seeing the others.

Here is the first one, not complete as there should be invasion stripes on top of wings. There is a mapping issue
with the model on one side that warps the stripes, so for now I will leave them off. I still need to do some research
on serials and squadron codes for the 391st BS. This one depicts an aircraft from the 575th.

Great scenery work!. Tongue in cheek - what about Tampa Florida? - They used to say the Marauder was so difficult to learn to fly, handle properly and the high training accident rate, that they used to say, "One a day in Tampa Bay".

I finished the 30 and need to convert to 1024x texture for smaller download. Ian can you assign the parking in ADE to keep the
squadrons together? If you can just use the squadron number 573, 574 and 575 as I have them assigned in the cfg that way.
Maybe someone could do flightplans for them, as mine are just a copy/paste job just so I could see them in sim.







Joe

[Butcherbird17]

Just uploaded the textures. Still need some flightplans for them as the one I used was just a cobbled together to see them in sim.
If anyone want's that file just PM me or post in this thread and I'll send it to you as I did not include it in the upload. Hopefully
someone with more experience with creating flightplans will do a set for these.
I did get a PM from Ian and he will be updating the ADE file to have the squadrons parked together, so be on the look out for that.

Is this where I should really annoy Ian and say that I'm in the process of adding more objects to my Nissen libraries, at least some of which will be directly applicable to Matching Green?

I don't know if Ian would be annoyed but I say yes to adding more to the scenery. But that will have to wait until he gets back from
holiday. I wonder if Mark (roger-wilco-66) would mine if we use some of his vehicles from his Solomon scenery to populate the base.
