From my earliest days, I've always admired the Flying Tigers and how
they faced adversity with determination, limited resources, and a kind
of anger to be one of the best-known outfits of WW2. And I just learned
the other day that the last of them died.
Understand; my dad's friend picked up a leaflet dropped over the
Tigers. I've held onto it for 35 years, and I'm hoping to put it into a
museum. I've been enjoying a documentary of theirs for several weeks,
now.
I can't figure out the flight characteristics; I don't know how to
decorate the finished model, but if someone can get me started with a
base P-40D model, I'll happily outfit the model with all the planes I
know, not just Tex Hill, Boyington and Ed Rector. I have a book on the
subject; I'd like to build the (non-flying, plastic) models of all three
squadrons, but I don't have space, time or money to make that happen.
What I'd like to do is permit FlightGear to offer a historic set of
liveries for any Tiger one would wish to fly. I just don't know where to
start.
I'm on Linux; does that mean textures are gonna be wrong, without
any fall-back plan?
