This folder contains a repaint for the Lockheed P-38L Lightning by Flying Iron.

I deleted the initial Scat III folder and downloaded it a second time. The sim runs fine now, hat fixed the problem for me. It appears that there was a problem with the download on my end. Sorry for the confusion. The livery is as expected, very awesome!! Thank you for indulging this old senior.

I have other liveries that you've created and they work fine. I used to do liveries in FSX , P3D and X-Plane, but this new system is too hard to master, I'll leave it up to you young fellows. Your work is first class, I'll hopefully be able to figure this out. Keep up the good work.

Was looking forward to this livery, Robin Olds is one of my favorites. After placing the folder into my community folder, the first time using the sim after that I had a CTD. The second try was also a CTD, both upon clicking on the world. After removing the livery my machine ran fine. I've had CTD's in the past. To solve my problem I emptied the community folder and brought back mod by mod to see which one was causing the CTD. After that all worked just fine until this P-38 livery.

Odd, it works just fine on my computer, and I have not had any other complaints, so I'm not sure what is happening on your end
