    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Another DC-3 Repaint!

For all you folks who just can't live without another DC-3 repaint here's my version of the Mt. Cook & Southern Lakes Tourist Co. DC-3. It's for the Manfred Jahn DC-3/C-47 latest version (3.14 updated). This is my first upload on the new Out-House so we'll see if I did it correctly!

This is so far my favourite DC-3 repaint!
I'm usually not a fusspot, but would it be possible to get some glass reflections and transparency?
They appear to be just black with hardly any transparency.
I don't know the right file to tinker with.

Thanks, Stuart. Unfortunately I don’t do windows! ;) Seriously, I’ve never had any luck with windows, so I just leave them alone. Maybe someone who knows the secret will run across this post.

I seem to have found a solution to suit me...
I used an alternative texture folder ('Firekitten's Swiss scheme) and copied your main Mt.Cook textures. (overwrite duplicate files).
Still no wiser of what the culprit is, I now have vibrant reflecting glass.
 
I always have a problem working out which version of Manfred’s wonderful aeroplane should be used with a new repaint that is released or that I have found. For example, there are no planes with the version number “v3.1404” in either the new resources or the old warbirds libraries. And despite my tendency to collect every new release of the models, I do not have any files whose filename includes “v3.1404” either.

I do have some files whose filenames include either “v3.1405” or “v3.1406”, and perhaps the fact that the installed folders for the v3.1405 file end with “FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\Douglas_C-47_V3.14” does not help the situation.

Anyway, in case anyone else is struggling to work out where to install this brilliant new repaint, I would suggest that you look for one of these files –
- Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.1405.zip
- And the corresponding fixes - Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.14_Fixes.zip
(both in the library here)

Or, if you were lucky enough to get the next release directly from Manfred while it was available through Dropbox –
- Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.1406.zip

If you do use either of these files, then you do not need the “3 external models” file mentioned by Duckie, as the required model is already included in each of the files I listed above.

I have no idea whether using either of these base files would resolve the window problem listed by Stuart, but it may be worth trying one anyway, since both files contain updates released since the creation of “v3.1404”.

And as an alternative, the latest release about which I am aware is a copy of “v3.1406” with a modern VC by Jan and Manfred. This file is only available (again as far as I am aware) at Flightsim.com with the filename “douglas_c-47_beta_v3_1406.zip”.

Hope that helps,
Ro

You are correct, sir. The "v3.1404" is a typo on my part. My apologies for the confusion.

Perfectly explained. Thank you. It's what I intended.

Thanks for the tips. It's worth packing this away for those of us who may want to further explore Manfred's Models.

Cheers,
