[YoYo]

This is "98" but hardly to check the number . Maybe someone has any idea?

Some nice B/W photo's (do not have be logged in to view):

Here is stated the "98" is Douglas C-53D-DO (conv DC-3A) N44998 c/n 11752 Northeast Air Lines (registration is partly visible under the wing)

PS @Yoyo
The "3th" texture has some offset mapping in the door and cargodoor area, see my PH-TCY repaint as reference.

@mgr, great found about the number! I had problem to find it and Id like decipher it with some graphical filters Today. So this job is gone . Thx!
Yes, that's exactly what I want to do with this model.

About shifts here, on textures, I know it (I did Delta Airlines but for P3Dv5, it was a little horror for me because I don't like any inaccuracies in the lines in my skins. For this Im using Blender for this and it works great however I cant open this model of DC-3 in Blender, I see error, strange, it's possible that the model was compiled differently and Blender doesn't see his body correctly so manual adjustment remains but I can do it ;> although it is a longer job.

YoYo, maybe you can use this in Blender ( Is till need to figure how to do things in Blender myself...)

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.

You could still do N16060, it also flew without the refurbished nacelles, oil coolers and geardoors. One 'snag' re the AH model, it does not have the nose light. Most NE DC-3's, atleast the first batch, feature the nose landing light, a leftover item from her younger cousine the DC-2. Hard to see on the NE DC-3 photos but on the big photo you can see only the '8' of '98' on the nose. The '9' is on the other side. In between is the light.... Here's a good look at the nose light :

You could of course not worry about it... ;-)

Found a colored version of Marcel's photo :

One more to choose (N30087) :

And the NE logo :

 

[YoYo]

Thx guys! I see some of nice photos, didnt noticed it before in the net. Good find, very helpful.
btw. Logo is done already.

ILS Query

I've had a problem with the ILS indicator on the DC-3 classic.

It shows course deviation but not glide slope deviation.

Or, at least... that's what I thought.

Today I found an airport where the ILS worked perfectly. Thought it had cured itself.

Went back to the airports where I hadn't had any glide slope indication and the problem still existed there. Thought it must be the scenery...

Tried the default C172 at the airports where I'd had a problem but the ILS gauge on the C172 works perfectly.

So, I'm puzzled.

I've seen a few mentions of ILS issues on various forums but no real common factors as far as I can see.

Has anyone got any ideas or had any similar problems?

btw. about this photo - I did it few days ago, when I was studying the colors (and also its present on this page), so if you found it I can say that the Internet suprice me near every time . I did this also:



Of course, the name should be red, but I didn't have time for that. TY.
N30087 looks very ok for me and its well documented.

About Blender - its not complicated. Maybe the first touch is strange a little. Very useful tool for painting, however I dont use it to paint the whole plane (you will never recive those effect likes for repaints from Corel/Photo shop, according me for sure), but what is really good you can paint and match parts in the real time, what is mean you can find any part even on white texture or you can match and connect all lines etc. For this is very helpful tool for painters.

Bazz, any chances for C-47 version? Even payware expansion?

 

[YoYo]

Unfortunately, the work was prolonged due to Christmas, cleaning, preparations, trip, etc., so not many free time. Finally its a stage which I can show. I hope you like it. Soon ... but not this year .
More screenies soon too.

On the front it should has a lamp, however maybe I'll do texture of lamp but it depends how it will look.
