Customisable reg no.?

Yes, we need liveries for 310 without registration numbers, so we can use our custom reg. Please

Exciting. Do you take requests for the 310?

we need, we need…but you said please, so I have included textures for the tail without registration (but you’ll need to make your own folder to make them work), and uploaded both paints:

Thank you very much, already downloaded :slight_smile:

You’re coming up on your 500th upload to Flightsim.to, @pby5a! Not sure if you noticed, but thought I’d flag it in case you want to do something special for it.

(If you’re looking for ideas for numbers 497-499, maybe a fantasy RCAF or RAAF Trislander? Please and thank you for whatever you choose! :slight_smile: )

Can you elaborate on ‘make your own folder’ please?

I’ve included a drag and drop folder for the ones with registration. If you want them without, you either have to create your own folder, or use mine by dropping the files without textures in there and adjust the aircraft.cfg to allow for your own registration

these paints are finished and uploaded:

interesting history with this aircraft:
This was a Boeing 247 purchased by young warlord Chang Hsueh-liang, called the “Young Marshal,” which played a key role in a remarkable incident of the Sino-Japanese War.
Called Bai-Ying or “White Eagle,” it brought about a suspension of the civil war and allowed the Red and Nationalist armies to join forces against Japan. In 1935, Chang bought the stock Boeing as his personal transport. Chang Hsueh-liang, while an autonomous warlord, had been staunchly anti-Japanese and anti-Communist. When the Japanese (with Chiang Kai-shek’s connivance) drove his Tungpei Army out of its home area, Manchuria, in 1935 it was seriously weakened. Next, he encountered Mao’s Red army and was captured.
To Chang’s surprise, the Communists did not massacre their many prisoners. Instead, the Manchurian troops were given a short but intense, anti-Japanese indoctrination and sent back to their units. Deeply impressed, Chang immediately flew in his Boeing 247 to the Red capital in Yenan and signed an immediate secret truce. Then, when Chiang Kai-shek came to the Young Marshal headquarters in Sian, Chang Hsueh-liang’s bodyguard invested Chiang Kai-shek’s quarters and arrested the Generalissimo. Within hours, army units across China declared for the mutineers.
Chang dispatched his Boeing to fetch the Communists from Yenan and other warlords. The Reds proposed Chiang Kai-shek, called a truce to the civil war and that all factions wage immediate war on Japan under his leadership. As part of the deal, Chiang Kai-shek was released, and he kept his promise. But he never forgave Chang Hsueh-liang. When the honorable Young Marshal flew to Nanking in his Boeing and surrendered to Chiang by way of apology for his conduct at Sian, the Generalissimo had him imprisoned. The KMT even took him with them when they fled to Taiwan, where he remained in prison well into the 1990s.
