Thanks, Marty - If you google POSKY SOFIA you finish up in the POSKY archive, and in the textures section about halfway down there is a zip which has the whole aircraft + the NASA repaint.
I found a listing at flightsim, but the D/l link gives a 404 error.
There is a little bit of cfg copy/pasting to do, but it's all there in the readme.

Thank you Mike ......

LOvely Stuff!
That SP is the most underrated of models... thanks for finding and pointing, it belongs in this sim for sure.

As i have said many times before ....... almost all of this freeware stuff is amazing. HJG and POSKY are very underrated resources , these people are keeping the hobby pure.
I look and wonder about all the hype about the F-27 release (for example) ....... a couple of screens and paints .... and ?? waiting for" the next best thing"
To me at least , it seems we are nothing more than money pits to the developers , and in a strange way i (and other visualites) are their primary target .... the old "if it looks good" , don't give a flying F about the dynamics (which i don't) because really , they all fly the same anyway .... turn accusim off on your spit , and you have a loose representation of a 172 im sure.
Systems , i agree , are modeled beautifully in some sims , and i derive great pleasure from being able to start a 737 or whatever from "cold and dark" but then i lose interest..... again , i have said in the past ... horses for courses.
Got a little off track there guys, sorry ...... but , these freeware guys are amazing , and so overlooked .

Its funny 20 years ago, aircraft had no true shape, look head on to and the tail looked like an aerial wire, it has come a long way and when Project Sky released their 747 I could honestly say I spent a good hour and a half just walking around the undercarriage .. simply studying the model .

It was the Wigram build that Adrian and Ian Brausch come into the mix with in 1998 with their P-3 Orion and the C-130 , then Clive Ryan put in the 2D photo real C-130 cockpit .. revolutionary times that was .. WOW using keypad for your cockpit views WOW!
