Aeroplane Heaven C-47/DC-3 is out!

Nope, been waiting for a patch to sort it out. It very occasionally has worked, but not very convincingly at that, so this is basically a Control=E special.

This is the case for the C-47 and the DC-3.
 
OK, so I have sat on my hands and (credit card) for too long.
Purchased the DC-3 last night.
TAA livery looks magnificent. Just as I remembered it at YMEN, so long ago. (Ansett, Ansett/ANA possible?)
Later today, I will shut her down and try the infamous 'manual start'.
I notice in the .cfg that 'electric_always_available' is set at = 1. I will try a start and if it fails will change to = 0, as Barry has instructed.
I will report back.

Can't disagree...P3Dv5 utterly BLOWS in the lighting/shading department. But it's to be expected....LM= Engineers, and Engineers = "new features"....for the sake of new features. Unfortunately, going backwards to v4.5+ is not a viable long term option.

P.S. Paul -- that Frontier DC-3 looks GORGEOUS!
 
Actually I dont think it blows as such.

The issue is DX12 is different to DX11 and therefore the settings are different. Baz has alluded to this in the hotfix2 thread on here somewhere. Basically if you take the knowledge gleaned from 4.5 then apply that thinking to V5, it isnt that it blows. It is time consuming and head scratching. However as I said in the PBR thread from a year ago or so ... I think repainters are going to find issues in the constant change and the complexity of packed RGB textures, I still stand by what I said back then.

It's actually why the upgrade for the DC-3 has taken so long. And why the paintkit is different ( again baz has a thread on here about that as well ) However I am making the installers right now so fingers crossed unless I get sidetracked trying for an achievement in Doom. :listening_headphone

Hi,
Nice set of liveries for the DC-3-users. I am a C-47 user and would also like to have some additional liveries of well-known C-47's, now in musea all over the world of still airworthy as also shown in the action Daks over Normandy in June last year. Here the Dutch Dakota Association's C-47 PH-PBA https://www.dutchdakota.nl/en/home/ was present as well.

Hopefully there will be an Airlines of NSW, MMA and Airlines of South Australia. These Aussie airlines seem to be forgotten.
