PBY Catalina Repaints

A repaint for the Aerosoft PBY-5 Catalina in the colors of G-PBYA, originally ordered for the Royal Canadian Air Force as a Canso A amphibian, basically equivalent to the US Navy PBY-5A. It was built by Canadian Vickers at Cartierville, Quebec and was allocated their constructors number CV-283 before adopting the RCAF serial 11005. It was taken on charge by the air force on 27 October 1943 and initially saw service with 9 (Bomber Reconnaissance) Squadron at Bella Bella on the British Columbia coast between Vancouver and Prince Rupert. It was on their inventory from November to the following August. 9 Squadron had been based at Bella Bella for some time prior to the arrival of Cansos, having operated Supermarine Stranraers there. The Cansos were mainly operated from water despite their amphibious undercarriages and were used on day and night patrols, looking out for enemy submarines. By mid-1944, the threat of a Japanese invasion of Western Canada had receded and it was decided to disband 9 Squadron and close the station at Bella Bella. The Cansos, including 11005, were flown to Alliford Bay in the Queen Charlotte Islands, also in British Columbia, and transferred to 7 (BR) Squadron in August. The job was the same – anti-submarine patrols mostly – and 11005 remained with 7 Sqn until it too was disbanded on 25 July 1945. After a post-war career as transport and waterbomber, it was acquired by Plane Sailing in 2004, restored and repainted as a OA-10A of the USAAF. It is based in Duxford.

This folder contains a repaint for the Aerosoft PBY Catalina. I have painted it in the colors of an aircraft of the Free French Squadron VFP-1 (6 FE), based in Agadir, French Marocco, 1943-1944. Lack of suitable photos means this paint may not 100% accurate, but I hope you'll like it anyway. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the Aerosoft paintkit.

Five repaints for the Aerosoft PBY-5 Catalina in the colors of all 5 PBY-5 Catalina's operated by Qantas on the 'Double Sunrise Service' between Western Australia and Ceylon between 1943 and 1945.
In 1943, Royal Australian Air Force personnel were seconded to operate Catalinas under the banner of Qantas. The plan called for flights between Perth, Western Australia, and RAF Base Koggala in southern Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The flights were the longest non-stop air route of any airline, over 3,500 nautical miles (6,480 km) across the Indian Ocean. Navigating without the aid of radio, the crews relied solely on rudimentary navigation by compass and stars during the trip.
Only Catalinas had that kind of range, so five PBY-5 flying boats were converted to make them suitable for the trip.
They received camouflage paint, with a RAAF roundel on the fuselage, but also a civilian registration, since they were officialy operated by Qantas, and they were named after the stars they would be using for navigation:
Vega Star (G-AGFL/FP221 - tail code 1)
Altair Star (G-AGFM/FP244 - tail code 2)
Rigel Star (G-AGID/JX575 - tail code 3)
Antares Star (G-AGIE/JX577 - tail code 4)
Spica Star (G-AGKS/JX287 - tail code 5)

Taking between 27 and 33 hours, with departure timed so that the flight crossed Japanese occupied territory during darkness, the crews would observe the sunrise twice, which led to the service being known as "The Double Sunrise". The flight route flown was along the coast from Perth to Exmouth then setting out towards Cocos (Keeling) Island or Christmas Island (though neither was actually sighted during the flight) and onto Kogalla, a journey of approximately 3,580 nautical miles (6,630 km). After the success of the initial flights, it was decided to run a weekly service, with some services flying over Rottnest Island and then taking a direct line to Kogalla. As part of the Australia-England air route there was a surface component from Kogalla to Karachi that added considerable time to the service. This was later replaced by the Double Sunrise service, with Karachi to England flown by BOAC. Air crews would change in Kogalla taking the next plane in either direction minimising the time taken to complete the journey.
Though stripped of all non-essential equipment, including de-icing equipment and insulation, the average takeoff weight was 15,900 to 16,000 kg; this included 9,040 liters of fuel, which gave the Catalina a range of 3,600 nautical miles (6,700 km). The service made 271 crossings, delivered over 4,500 kg of mail and carried 860 passengers, including among them British MP Edith Summerskill and the journalist Keith Murdoch. 'The Secret Order of The Double Sunrise' was an illustrated certificate given to passengers aboard the flying boats of the Australia-England air link, to attest they had been airborne for more than 24 hours.
After the war the five modified Catalinas that had flown The Double Sunrise service were scuttled.

This folder contains a repaint for the Aerosoft PBY Catalina for FSX, representing OA-10a 44-3898, of the Alaska Division of the Air Transport Command. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the repaint kit by Aerosoft. Though the original aircraft carried a radome above the cockpit, it was not equiapped with the large exhausts of the updated Aerosoft model. I've included textures for the large exhausts, but also the earlier model with the small exhausts and the appropriate textures.

This folder contains a repaint for the Aerosoft PBY Catalina. Represented is #47002, one of three PBY5A Canso's that were purchased by the Swedish Air Force in 1947. #47002 was involved in the 'Catalina Affair' in 1952. On 16 june 1952, it was on a search and rescue mission between Gotland and Estonia, looking for a DC-3 that had disappeared three days earlier, when it was attacked and shot down by a Russian Mig-15. The russians claimed the (unarmed) Catalina had fired first. Only in recent years did the russians admit they were responsible for this incident, as well as for shooting down the DC-3.

All were flying boats, with no amphibian models being taken on charge.After the war only half a dozen or so of the best aircraft were maintained in service with No 5 Sqn (squadron code became KN-) and fitted with the latest search radar which had a large radome behind the cockpit. The remainder were put into storage. Two PB2B-ls were loaned to Tasman Empire Airways (TEAL) for short periods after the war, one (which became ZK-AMI) as a crew trainer, the other (ZK-AMP, former NZ4036) to survey a flying boat route from Fiji to Tahiti, later to become known as "The Coral Route" and used by TEAL's Solent flying boats. These two aircraft were eventually returned to the RNZAF before being scrapped."

Repaint of Aerosoft PBY
PBY-5A

Repaint by Tom Stovall for the Aerosoft PBY PBY-5A, using the Aerosoft PBY paint kit developed by the Aerosoft team. You must have purchased the Aerosoft PBY to use these textures. This PBY was number 05045 of Commander Air South Pacific. This aircraft belonged to Admiral John S. McCain and was flown by Lt. W.S. Sampson August 12, 1942 to Henderson Field, Guadacanal. This was the first aircraft to land at Henderson. The Marines had almost taken the runway when the Catalina arrived with much needed ammunition and supplies. Next morning, early she took off with two wounded Marines. This aircraft deserves a place of honor.

1. Go to the "SimObjects/Airplanes/Aerosoft_PBY-5A_Civ" folder in your FSX installation folder.

2. Make a copy of the folder "texture.Dutch" with all its contents and rename it to "texture.VH-PBY".

3. Copy all files from the "Roo Paint" folder of this download to the newly created "texture.VH-PBY" folder. Overwrite files when prompted.

4. Open the aircraft.cfg file in the "Aerosoft_PBY-5A_Civ" folder (make a backup of the file before changing it, just in case something goes wrong) with the Notepad and add the following text below the last [fltsim] entry that you can find in the aircraft.cfg:

Replace XX in the line [fltsim.XX] with a number that is not used by the other [fltsim] entries in that file. For example change [fltsim.XX] to [fltsim.2] if the last entry in the list is titled [fltsim.1]

5. Save and Exit and you're ready to go. Fire up FSX and enjoy your new Catalina paint.
