New Orion Repaints

Here are 9 new and updated repaints of the default Dangerous Waters Orion to the Cold War and Modern P-3Cs of VP-40 and VP-9, U.S. Navy, 10 and 11 Squadrons, RAAF, 333 Sqn Royal Norwegian Air Force and the 6th and 3rd FAS (Fleet Air Squadron) of the JMSDF.



The textures have also been improved significantly since the last release, adding in black prop nose cones, tail antennas, a more subtle rudder line and more accurate fuselage markings.



I've used the base textures that I 'patched over' from the MSFS2020 VP-40 repaint done by the very talented Scott Roy - with his very kind permission.



The new liveries have sampled from the great Orion liveries for 'https://combatace.com/' by Kevin 'Wrench' Stein, in collaboration with Florian Schnieder (aircraft and original skins/template) and Viper63a (upgraded template). Kevin was very kind in giving me permission to use his textures.



Because this is the 'default' Orion repainted, it should work with all Mods, and also the 'Vanilla' version.

**Installation**
1. In the Graphics folder, place Orionpainting.bat and CMPUTIL into your DW Graphics folder
2. Select the repaint you want and copy/paste the respective P3c.dds file into your DW Graphics folder
3. Run Orionpainting.bat and you're good to go!
4. To place a different repaint in the game, repeat steps 2 and 3.



**Backup Texture**
If you want to revert back to the default Orion, textures are included in the 'Backup' folder. Just paste the file into your Graphics folder and run the .bat.
