This process is constantly evolving at many levels (smoke,sound,textures) as I have no experience in doing this sort of thing. I'm trying to recreate the backfire pop with flames that happened on one of the C-47's. I thought it was cool to add a little extra to the project. The latest pop is more subdued and will create a new flame texture just for this model.
All in all it's something I always wanted to try! I tried texture artist... meh, so now I'm trying this.
Maybe a meh thing too, who knows. The only other model I tried some effects on was the Milton's Howard 500.
I referring to this video and a few other I've seen of the DC3/C-47 backfire pop.

Hey Ted,
Why not record two bowls of Rice Krispys and pour some milk on 'em, ya know....snap, crackle and pop!! That would make terrific start up sounds.

Bubble wrap is the best... nice pops!!!

This is the best yet TuFun and yes they do backfire on startup occasionally when being cranked by the electric starter, I have seen it many times with these engines that have not been used for awhile.
Once started and warmed up though it would be very rare to see it backfire on startup again.

By far, this has been the best yet. Nice start up and a really smooth transition from the starter to startup to idle sounds.

I like to try every angle... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Novel idea, but I think I will leave it out for now.

That kinda worried me a little, transition between sounds.
I am a bit flummoxed here. Isn't this plane still A WIP and not released yet?
If so, then there must be a butt-ton of "Beta" testers out there. :isadizzy:
Manfred's C-47 for FSX and FS9 has been available for a while, this beta version promises additional features.

This is exactly how I feel every time I try start up Manfred's Super-3.
"C'mon....c'mon - aww.
C'moooonn - aww.
Come ooooon - d'oh!
Cooooome oooon - meh.
...
COME-THE FRAK-ON! *Pop, sputter, crack, purr*"

TF and I are working with the new Beta version. I'm developing paint kits for the C-117 and C-47. JK is working with the paint kits. Manfred has been gone for about six weeks, but will be back on the project shortly.
TF is working on the sounds independently, but making video at Manfred's request.
I'm going to be starting a new pay ware scenery project and going into my black hole for a few months, so the skins will be coming from Jankees, Hanimichal and others.
My paint kits will be available through Manfred's freeware for anyone who wishes to do their own skins. My contribution has been in the base textures, metal skins and photo real base textures.
That's about the extent of it.
IMHO, this is one of the finest freeware airplanes I have ever seen. If this is an indication of where FSX product development is going, I remain very optimistic.

No! No, no, no, NO!
Please don't go down that road!
I don't know how much social isolation and converted sleep hours Manfred and team have invested into these models, but making them a new standard is putting all the guys off who can't invest as many hours and experience into their work.
These are outstanding models for sure, but they're *not* the new standard. No way, no how!

Well "G" man I guess you pretty much spelled it all out. Looking forward to the big release day! I sure appreciate all of you and the others involved efforts in making this another great success
for the FSX community.
