Manfred's Douglas C-47 Reloaded (Beta)

If you look very closely between the hinges for the rear door, you can see a similar horizontal discolouration which maybe indicates it was the circle and bar of the American national insignia. It shows up more if you take the photo and alter the contrast.

I agree with you about the trace of star-and-bar insignia on the door. The RAF returned some of their Dakotas to the USAAF after the war, that plane could be one of them.
 
Fantastic looking paints. Sure looking forward to this model.

I found this pic posted at Calclassics. I think it was for Manfred's original. Anyone know if it will work with the reloaded version?

hey just one question if I might... Will this C-47 have it's own custom FDE or does it still use the default DC3 flight dynamics? if it just uses the default, are there any good freeware FDE's for the default DC3 available?

excuuse me. I had failed to note his comments about fiddling around with the water. That explains why it's different although I would of thought I would of heard "G" man respond.

We have to get up pretty early in the AM to get one by you huh? :icon_lol:

I was actually trying to make a quick video, but here's a couple of day shots of the water. If I can get W7 to cooperate long enough I may be able to provide a brief vid. Put one over on Firekitten..? I doubt it...lol.

The background surround scenery is Blue Sky. When I do custom PR, I download/capture a higher res than you can get from Blue Sky and lay it over the top as a separate local scenery. Here I've done the lake and valley area in high def...about 40 square miles.
Blend mask at the borders of the high def PR and it's all seamless. There is no autogen in this location yet, just the sat photo real and the layered high def water masks.

Oh yeah...this skin will be in the MJ release....

Thanks for reminding me that:

Best thing for me to do is just use the PM as P in "private" for questions, that way the responses come from person I asked the question.

This is a custom FDE, and quite a good one too. The startup effects are much more advanced than the stock FSX DC3 obviously. MJ will have more info available with the release.

Thanks! that was the one thing that kept me from flying the previous version. I think I had downloaded an FDE somewhere that was a lot better, but I don't seem to have it anymore, and can't remember where I found it. default dc3 rolls and wallows far too much for my taste (and I don't have any real experience, but I can't imagine that it is realistic) looking forward to this one quite a bit!
 
last one for this weekend, still wip unfortunately... this one is actually parked really close to where I live, in the Belgian Aviation Museum here in Brussels.
