Which version are you getting that on Roger, Manfred's basic or my texturepak?
I'll have a look.

Love the plane, loved the paints.... I thank all involved. But on the SEA variant I am missing the red stripe in the bar on the US insignia.... I don't mean to complain or rivet-count.. I only noticed after a flight or two trying to impersonate a real Spooky.. and I have witnessed a Spectre or two in my day.............. I hearken back to the days of at least a little more color... I am really showing my age at this point so I will gracefully fade back into the shadows... Regardless I am so enjoying this aircraft. I flew in one only a few years ago and the nostalgia remains..

Yep...you're right. I've got a new bump map ready for the DAK. Now that the Outhouse is back on line, I'll update the files and definitely add the red bar to Spooky.

Thanks gman.. I didn't mean to be a nit-picker... Awesome job on this paint.. One bad-ass looking Gooneybird...
No worries. I really tried to go for realism on these skins...it's this kind of detail that I'm always looking for. Thanks.

Hi gman,
I have less of an issue with your texture pack but the flashing is still there. Is it just a Dx10 problem perhaps? Anyway not to detract from a great job from all the team!
Just want to add - I have that flashing black line, too.... it might be a DX10 problem, too, as Roger said.
It's been asked or mentioned before, but I've not seen any definitive answer - is there a regular/old/worn/beaten DC-3 cockpit available for this aircraft?
Anyway - SUPER aeroplane!! Can't get enough of the starts! All we need now is for it to simulate the bottom jug being blown off!

I've been moving in to P3D V2 for the last couple of days so I've just gotten to the DAK graphics.
The DAK is showing the small flicker with the P3D DX11 so it looks like DX10 and 11 are showing the wart. I've run it across the setting spectrum and get it consistently. This is an addition to the learning curve so give me a bit of time and I'll sort this one out and I'll post up the patch.
BTW, the DX11 shadowing inside and out are absolutely gorgeous in all of the aircraft. If you liked the DAK in FSX, you're going to flat love it in P3D V2.
FYI: Once I worked out the settings in V2 I made outstanding FPS with all sliders WFO and 2048 texture enabled. FPS were consistent 50-75 set @ unlimited over high def PR terrain with heavy autogen. I've locked at 30 and the performance is absolutely seamless.
Thanks for you patience ladies and gents.

Manfred is giving the classic cockpit some consideration. If he decides to do it, I'll pull out all the stops on the textures. Stay tuned.

I sure hope so. Manfred has made such an excellent job - an outstanding job, with her. Add the Gary Jones/Ted Wolfgang sounds .... Nirvana!
(That is, of course, with the Dak's old, proper, flight deck - not that modern thing!)
I cannot understand A2A's reticence. This aircraft is the classic icon of the aviation industry.
I have no idea who wrote this, and many of you have heard/read it before, but it seems so appropriate for this aircraft, so here it is again...
We gotta get rid of those turbines, they're ruining aviation
and our hearing...
A turbine is too simple minded, it has no mystery. The air travels
through it in a straight line and doesn't pick up any of
the pungent fragrance of engine oil or pilot sweat.
Anybody can start a turbine. You just need to move a switch from
"OFF" to "START" and then remember to move it back to "ON"
after a while. My PC is harder to start.
Cranking a round engine requires skill, finesse and style. You
have to seduce it into starting. It's like waking up a horny mistress.
On some planes, the pilots aren't even allowed to do it...
Turbines start by whining for a while, then give a lady-like
poof and start whining a little louder.
Round engines give a satisfying rattle-rattle, click-click, BANG,
morerattles, another BANG, a big macho FART or two,
more clicks, a lot more smoke and finally a serious low pitched
roar. We like that. It's a GUY thing...
When you start a round engine, your mind is engaged and you can
concentrate on the flight ahead.
Starting a turbine is like flicking on a ceiling fan: Useful,
but, hardly exciting.
When you have started his round engine successfully your crew
chief looks up at you like he'd let you kiss his girl too!
Turbines don't break or catch fire often enough, leading to aircrew
boredom, complacency and inattention.
A round engine at speed looks and sounds like it's going to blow
any minute. This helps concentrate the mind !
Turbines don't have enough control levers or gauges to keep a
pilot's attention. There's nothing to fiddle with during long flights.
Turbines smell like a Boy Scout camp full of Coleman Lamps.
Round engines smell like God intended machines to smell.
All the Best!

Missing engines textures with Manfred Jahn C-47_V2
I just installed this beautiful bird and I am super happy. The exterior model is as the first version and the VC is out of this world. I am missing the textures for the engines however! Any ideas on what I might have missed in the install?
Thanks for the time

You missing just the texture for the radials or for the entire nacelle?
Can you post a screenshot, Roger? This happens with all textures and in dx10 only?

Best news I've had for a while! Surely would boost Manfred (and yourself ) to the top of the pantheon of FS legends!
As much as I love the new model, it just doesn't feel right flying a dakota with such a modern cockpit...

Thanks Manfred, I'll try and get a shot tonight but I suppose it really needs a video.

I'm following up on this. We have a support team working on DX10 and DX11 issues. I'll track down the anomaly...It's definitely related to DX.
