Attention all DC-3 fans !

They ran 'Flight of the Phoenix' on local TV last night (course had to watch it) :untroubled: but when trying to start the engine .... some reason my brain case drifted to this DC-3 and the engine start ups and radials .... course no shotgun shells and a Dennis Quaid .. or a sniveling spoiled model aeroplane maker :biggrin-new:

The original movie I hope. With James Stuart and Hardy Krüger! :very_drunk:


Uh oh... Dennis Quaid. Not the original movie.:icon36:
 
Ian-

The original is truly brilliant, glad others remember.... BUT- back to this historic release!

I am SO GLAD that this thread has existed continuously, so as to truly depict the support that Manfred & Jan et al have, and the enthusiasm that we all feel for their collective contribution to our venerable old lady!

"Redefining freeware standards" cannot be said enough, though as I mentioned earlier, this will surpass many a paid add-on!

Best- C
 
One thing achieved here on this DC-3 is the that engine startup, something that stuck in my brain case, a memory of a Mount Cook Airlines Dak, on the airlines maintenance ramp in by the old Airwork hanger at Christchurch Intl ... the engine slowly whinding over then a cough and splutter then stops , they have another go , prop did a few rotations next flame out the exhaust next boom and the engine kicks over, started , that was quiet dramatic.
 
Ok... I thought I would put a little more effort into texturing the radials done in 4096.

Thanks Bob, much appreciated! The radial engine is a marvel in design, so with doing the sounds, exhaust smoke, why not texture that too! :adoration:

Thank you! sometimes Shorpy posts very interesting photos of the original WWII planes plants.
Here the full format photo: http://www.shorpy.com/node/20951?size=_original#caption
It was taken in the year 1940: "Painting the cylinders of aircraft motors at the Pratt & Whitney plant. East Hartford, Conn."hitney plant. East Hartford, Conn.ainting the cylinders of aircraft motors at the Pratt & Whitney plant. East Hartford, Conn."
 
Final rendering of the R-1830... Manfred's seal of approval! Fittings have natural brass color, prop hub bolts, reworked cylinders and clamp (3d), and Manfred improved the prop governor bits.

Corrected that! :biggrin-new: Manfred has sent me the updated models to finish up the radials (4096).

I think "G" is updating the paint kit to 4096. Haven't seen the kits yet.

Thanks anyways, didn't think my style was as good as "G"! :encouragement:
 
Truly artists!

Wow pals. You are raising the bar to the stratosphere. Payware developers must put a lot of more effort in his products 'cause this DC-3 is outstanding! :applause:

When the things are done with pure love....:encouragement:
