FS2004 Dornier DO-328 VIP
Original desing by Robert Versluys. Repaint by Alejandro Hurtado

If you have downloaded my do328ah16, Dornier Do-328 Air Engiadina, you will read that it was the launching client of the DO-328. This plane, HB-AEE, was renamed as D-CHIC when the airline backrupted, and sold to some airlines, including one called VIP and based in Ecuador.

There is a model of another Do328 VIP made by Alex Colka for FS98. I'm including part of his readme:

---**---

Club VIP is an ecuadorian private club and not a commercial airline for members only that uses the services of it, flying in a private plane for routes inside Ecuador.
This Club was originally aimed to solve the problems of executives that looks for a better service, arrivals and departures right on time, security, comfort and exclusivity that the common ecuadorian airlines does not provide for them.
Club VIP is the only corporation in America with this kind of valuable service with really high standards and as we say here in Ecuador, there are only two ways of flying: by plane and by VIP.

Searching in the web I found pictures of VIP's Do328 in Venezuela and anothe places, so it must have grow since 1999. As there is no newer models of this airline except the FS98 I mencioned, I'm making this repaint, hopping that you like this.

Warranty:
I love the warranty wrote by Andrew W. Hall:
"None. Zip. Nada. Use at your own risk. I don’t think
this will harm your computer in any way, but if it does, I
don’t even want to hear about it."

A last remark: Why don't become a repainter? There are a lot of planes with special markings. I'm tired of the usual F-16 low-vis scheme, or the usual 757 in Delta markings. Why don't a "Bat's outa Hell's" B-25 or a serie of Qantas 737s? The plane modelers like Robert Versluys are very important, but they can't make all the painting schemes by himselfs. So why don't help they?

Installation:

Unzip d328ah31.zip in your "Aircraft" folder of FS2004 or FS2002, install your desired panel and that's all. If you don't know how to install a panel, just let the default Beech King Air 350.
