Each of the above subjects were produced by our colleague/"HJG associate" the late Garry RUSSELL. These subjects have been located here/at HJG as part of our "MEMORIAL TRIBUTE" to Garry. Our full tribute to Garry can be reviewed per the following link ....

Each of these classic/historic COMET textures have been "reconditioned" .... MEANING .... each has been updated from their original/early DXT3 format to the standard and more modern "EXT 32.888 NO MIPS" format employed by HJG since approximately 2007/8. As a result these textures will/"SHOULD" now appear "slightly sharper" (than has possibly been the case with their original releases) in both FS2004 and FSX .... whilst also now being less likely to be subjected to "blurries" that can occur on some systems due to older style texture formatting.
PLEASE NOTE: "NONE" of these textures have otherwise been edited/amended in any way shape or form though. Each remains as Garry produced them .... and as such remain the fine and authentic representation/s he intended them to be.
For those interested .... a history of "civil" COMET development can be reviewed per the following link ....
