There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

For everyone who already has skins for the previous MJ C-47, your skins will work with this model. You won't have Ted's new radials when using previous skins.
Re: The Paint Kit
The PK will be uploaded tomorrow AM and includes all layers you would need to do comprehensive paints. All of the layers are broken out for extensive editing. Ted was generous enough to provide me with his radials in layered format, so they will be available for painters to drop into previous paints.
The PK will also come with a set of basic metal skins to use as a base layer for paints. All wear and shadowing is available in PS layers format.
I've also created a set of enhanced bump maps and specular files that can be added to your skins, old or new. The bump and specular files will globally update all old skins and come with a readme file for easy installation.
I've formatted my package to utilize a shared texture format, so all common files will reside in the shared folder while your skins will be added in the usual way.
I'll be providing a tutorial for those interested in exploring "skinning" in more depth.
When I release the PK, I'll start a new thread to cover paint tips, questions and tech talk. We'll leave this thread for screenies and appreciation of this beautiful offering by Jan Visser, Manfred Jahn and team. Thank you sirs for inviting me to be part of the process.

Beautiful aircraft - thank you! 
Incredible work and uniquely generous gift to the community. Many thanks to all involved.
I'm in awe of the talent and good taste demonstrated on so many levels with this classy bird.
I just sat in the cockpit for a good 20 min's or so with mouth agape, my attention jumping from one fine detail to another.
Then there are the engine details...the sounds...the list just goes on and on.

Just finished my first flight. Thanks so much to all involved. Based on the previews I was expecting a lot and the actual experience was even better. Love the voice checklists and the sounds, both external and internal. Wow!
