I still need to find a few bits and pieces, but overall very nice, thanks, Mike!

If you have any questions, just ask!

Truman's VC-54 was the "Sacred Cow." Always loved that name!

Sorry , stand corrected . When you get my age things like this start happening on a regular basis . Need to get back to the Museum of the Air Force . They opened a new hanger last year that now houses all of the Presidential aircraft . Before they were across the field on part of Wright Patterson AFB . You're right , " Sacred Cow " is quite the name .

you wouldn't have any wireframe maps? I'm having a hard time with the ailerons. Other than that, it is nicely laid out, not too many problems.

of course, I could also make the triangles smaller so they don't touch the ailerons...

Looks fantastic thus far. A lot of potential subjects here as virtually every post-WW2 airline had DC-4's/C-54's on their books at some point.
As always, enjoy all the efforts put in.

You should find the wireframe maps as the very bottom-most layer of the principle wing texture (eg. NS_Wing_L.psd)

Roosevelt´s and Truman´s VC-54C, 272752, build 1946. A special C-54, nicknamed the Sacred Cow, became the first presidential aircraft. With high polish textures. Created without repaintkit. WIP.

I found the wire frame at the bottom of the list. It is called "Background". In order for it to show you must untick the dark grey box directly above it.

 

[tankerguy72]

A little WIP. You know I had to pick up this tanker.

 

[jt_dub]

I have really been looking forward to this one. Had my first test flight last night. Fabulous.

I would really like to see the USAF livery shown in this 1956 youtube clip of C-54 landing in Japan. That is the same time that my dad was flying them into Tachikawa AFB.

Exactly, in the space of a year we have gone so far with release of really high quality renditions of classic aeroplanes. It is a very impressive list from my humble view point. Somebody been reading my bucket list?

 

[AussieMan]

Thanks mike for the paint kit

Hope we see a Transocean paint at some point. They will fly anything anywhere!
