FOUGA CM 170 Magister SALE 33eme Escadre de Reconnaissance, Strasbourg 1985


This is a repaint of the magnificent Fouga Magister by Andre Chancel, Jean-Pierre Langer, Jean-Pierre Bourgeois, Benoit Dube and Marc Hardouin which can be downloaded from http://restauravia.com

The aircraft is a true "must" for any FS addict and comes complete with a thorough documentation both in French and in English.

You have to create in FS9AircraftFougaMagisterTexture a sub-folder named "texture.482_33-XF" (without the quotes). Copy and paste in this new sub-folder all the files contained in FS9FougaMagisterTexture exture.412

Next, you will have to extract all the "texture.482_33-XF*.bmp" files from the present ZIP archive to FS9AircraftFougaMagisterTexture ensuring that "Use folder names" is ticked. Accept to overwrite when prompted, and everything should go to the right place.

And, as usual, you have to copy and paste the text below in FS9AircraftFougaMagisterSoloaircraft.cfg not forgetting to replace "XX" in [fltsim.XX] by the next number in series in your aircraft.cfg

In case you intend to fly the aircraft from the back seat I suggest you install my alternative 2D rear panel layout which is included in this package. (See the relevant ReadMe.txt in "fou2dpnl.zip" for details).

Wing tip tanks as shown on the accompanying photograph are of the "large" (230 litre) variety. However, it is assumed that this aircraft flew with the "small" (125 litre) tip tanks as well.

The Fouga Magister's natural metal surfaces had a very shining aspect. I have made my best to portray this as much as possible yet trying to avoid the chrome-like effect found on so many current repaints.

In fact, when you stepped into the cockpit after a few hours of sun exposure the temperature could reach up to 50-55°C (120-130° F) before engine start-up. Climbing into a Fouga in such conditions under a generous Corsican sun in July or August was quite a challenging experience, especially taking into account the fact that we wore a flying suit, anti-fire underwear and a leather flying jacket.

There was no air-conditioning system as such in that aircraft, but only the possibility to taxy with the canopies slightly open and, once airborne, a very small air bleeding tube which could be kept open whilst flying below 10.000 ft to provide some venting of the cabin. At higher altitudes you needed heating, anyways.

I have even heard stories of one guy who had managed to fry an egg on the upper wing surface of a Fouga. To be honest, I never managed to do it myself!

Now, for those who like more shine I have added an alternative set of textures featuring a more pronounced Alpha channel. These textures appear in the "texture_SHINING.482_33-XF" subfolder, and you can use them if you like to replace the four relevant "texture.482_33-XF" bmp's.

Please be aware of one thing: if ever your computer takes fire after installing this repaint, or if anything bad happens, I can accept no liability whatsoever. So please use at your own risk and feel free not to install if you have any doubt.

Comments and feedback will be most welcome.
