AH DC-3 Releasing March, 2022?

[YoYo]

Good to know !

 

[Javis]

No mods except the one that adds the amphibious model

Aha, thank you !

Well, if you can keep the old lady straight on the runway once the tailwheel is down with the virgin flightmodel my cap is off to you !

And thanks for you landing comments. Very interesting !

 

[YoYo]

Btw. I have only one modification, because the model does not close the flaps and always flies with 5 degrees open, so I use this:

[FLAPS_LEVELS]
flaps_level_1 =0
flaps_level_2 =5
flaps_level_3 =10
flaps_level_4 =15
flaps_level_5 =20
flaps_level_6 =25
flaps_level_7 =30
flaps_level_8 =35
flaps_level_9 =40
flaps_level_10 =45

[YoYo]

Something from my side too.

Today I want to upload my first DC-3 skin (with polish reg.). Flightsim to. Today later. I added correct texture for GPU cart as well.

 

[jankees]

Very nice, especially those posters on the inside are very cool

Downloaded, thanks! Love the first shot in on this page with the snowy background!

Love the first shot in on this page with the snowy background!

+1 ! Great shot, YoYo !

Usually quite dark inthere but here a glimpse of sunlight revails that even the inner side of the nacelles is detailed. This screenshot particularly and inevitably shows the superb job AH executed on the external MSFS model of the iconic DC-3.

I've said it before a couple times of course and will keep saying it whenever relevant: truly fantastic job, AH !!

Now bring on the C-47..

 

[Fnerg]

I was up at the Canadian Warplane Heritage museum the other day to buy calendars, because they have cool shots from the past year, and helps support our local museum. It's a tradition I guess now. Well, they were out. So I thought I'd go into the back hangar and take a few reference shots of the recently acquired C-47 ( FZ692 ), and while I was taking specific photos, a volunteer came up to me to tell me some facts about her. He shared an interesting fact about the tow tugs era. So, imagine the Dak flying in close to the ground, snagging a cable which was hooked to the glider. The jolt on that glider! Poor pilots, must have been terrifying to anticipate. Over time, the cargo doors would develop a gap sometimes up to 2" because the fuselage was stretched from towing, sometimes to the point where electrical wire bundles and control cables would break from being to taught! Amazing.

Guys, I need a help. Perhaps my next skin (number 98, N16060). DC-3 of Norteast airlines looks cool too! However I need confirmation of the main colour. See this:



I also found DC-6 picture:

but I think here is mistake of the person who colorized the photo.

According me it isnt dark green but blue-green (ocean), something like this:



What do you think?

Seems indeed dark blue:

 

[Spook48]

Definitely blue

 

[YoYo]

Ok thanks, overall I think I chose this color quite well, the last photos have too much exposure, but it's not blue, it's sea blue, i.e. one with a bit of green, but blue is predominant.

(number 98, N16060). DC-3 of Norteast airlines looks cool too!

YoYo, N16060 was a former C-53 converted into a DC-3A which had its engine nacelles and oil coolers revised and gear doors added (if you ask me blehhh..;-) Here's a better photo :

So if you want to be correct you'd have to choose a different Northeast DC-3. F.i. like this :

Here you'll find a complete website devoted to N33623 by Ruud Leeuw : https://ruudleeuw.com/uscan09-mason.htm

I bet it will feel good if you can atleast virtually get that poor grounded bird out of there.

 

[Javis]

Or you could go with a very different style of Northeast livery :

YoYo, N16060 ...

Thx Javis , I want this nose, not like 90% of DC-3 ; ) just straight lines, according me it has "98" number so N16060 but I will check it again, maybe it has different reg. number. It looks like the same as AH model.
