History of the painting:
Months ago, I saw a picture of this plane in a magazine, and selected do328jgh.zip as the model base to repaint. When I was very advanced, I looked for the turboprop engines... and found that do328jgh.zip was a do-328 JET! So I made the Do-328J of Welcome Air.

Later, and having a Do-328 prop model with the proper permission, I made this repaint... and descovered that the plane work fine in FS2002, but the props don't display well in FS2004. So, I began again to find a good model and make a repaint. I hope this will stay... at least until FS2007.

Air Engiadina had four liverys: this one and another three that you will found in www.ruudleeuw.com/remember (Airlines Remembered).
But, enougt chat, select this plane and... enjoy!

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:

First, erase d328ah16 from your airplanes folder. Then, unzip d328ah27.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.
