Excellent, very well done, thanks to all being involved in this creation!

(Btw, the former model's repaints don't fit anymore?)

Thanks, Dieter,

unfortunately, the texture mapping had to be revised for the HD model, so the old textures will look very odd on her, and neither reflection nor shine (spec) will come across.

It is just an experiment, basically, to see where PBR takes me at this point.

She's been lovely for years, even better now. Ta (esp. Ted for this version- riveting!). Here we are slipping into City, to pick up some VIPs for the ride to the Royal Suite...

Raindrops

Hello,

many, many thanks for this update!!!
This is a really good addition to an almost perfect addon! And this as freeware - incredible!


I encouter a small bug with the new raindrops as they (the bigger ones which run down when the aircraft stands still) come from the top left and run down to the lower right (opposite on FO side)
I would expect them to just run down straight or at least a little bit from top right to lower left.

This valid with default grey and rains weather set and also with Active Sky, with or without any wind



Once, the aircraft gained speed, everything is back to normal, it happens just with the parked or taxiing aircraft

Many thanks!
 
Incredible!!!!!! This is beyond payware quality!

Any plans to work on/transmogrify any other liveries?

Adam.
 
Once more, fantastic!!!!!!

This is my favourite aircraft for P3D (along with the Maddog). Just been for a quick test flight. One thing I noticed, the rudder has a lot more effect when taxiing (or has the castor tailwheel been disabled?). You can taxi using rudder pedals now (which seems a bit odd).

Is there any way we can donate to Manfred and his team?

I'd be willing to donate a lot (especially if you finish the Sperry Autopilot). Also, any chance of integrating a Reality XP GPS (I know, sacrilege, but it is hard flying IFR in the modern world with all the intersections without one).

Thanks again for all the hard work!!!!
 
Found the tailwheel castor fix. Forgot to edit the config file (found the instructions in the readme to the old version)
 
I installed this PBR version but the Flight One GTN 750 will not go in it, but with the original version it does just wondering if any one else has had this happen. I'm just starting to use the GPS in this Dc3 now cause all the nav updates that come out there seems to be less and less NDB's ILS's and Vor's Louis cyyc
 
Same with me Adam, the 2 wing lights and the one on the tail are all white. does your paint livery work at least? cause i find there's a lots i can't seem to get in properly, like the Bahamas Airways and Finnish they just won't show up---Louis cyyc

Works fine on my Win10/P3Dv4.5 system - though it's too early to say whether other people have downloaded and had problems. Why not give it a whirl anyway?

I'll check all those liveries work OK on my system (I thought they did, last time I looked!).

Thanks for the lights confirmation. Either a bug or just W.I.P.

This is gonna sound real dumb Adam, but when i open up the zip there a mipmapped and standard folder with a pile of dds -texture conf- thumb nail- and read me items, so how in heck do i put it in ?

Let's see how right or wrong I can be. I would do it like this:

pbr textures.jpg

Then choose either the mipmaped or standard textures from the included folder and add them to the new texture folder. Of course, don't forget to add the new [fltsim.xx] with the proper number to the aircraft.cfg.

Just noticed I should have named the new folder to texture.ZK-DAK-PBR
