Attention all DC-3 fans !

This has to be the single best VC I've ever seen *in any sim*. Quite breathtaking!

Put with MJ's already superb external model, the package will be totally irresistible.

Have you considered making it "Donation-ware"? Either for yourself or to a designated charity? Us simmers can recognise quality work when we see it - and we aren't entirely UN-generous!!

I am completely in agreement that this is possibly the brightest star, shining amongst a constellation of other magnificent aircraft. Jan has given this airplane as much life and personality as it's real world ancestors.

Regarding the idea of "Donation-ware" I would offer up this consideration.

I prefer the verbiage of "Contribution-ware" rather than "Donation-ware", as it acknowledges the intent to direct energy back into a chosen cause. I cannot speak for Manfred Jahn or Jan, but as it applies to my contributions to this project, I would like to see an option created that would allow anyone who wishes to contribute to the Sim Outhouse site for their dedication, the opportunity to do so on a purely voluntary basis. The airplane would remain entirely freeware of course, but also present the end user with options to support our "hobby" as well.

I would be more than willing to dedicate my skins and other involvements with this aircraft towards this specific goal.

What say ye?
 
Well, speaking just as a grateful end user, I'd be happy to pay the equivalent of what a premium payware a/c would cost me, and let the team direct the funds however they see fit. Donation or contribution, either is fine. But I'm going to feel really guilty paying nothing at all and just accepting it as a gift...
 
So impressive.....Having spent a few hours in the right hand seat of one of these, I simply can't get over the attention to detail. Would feel very much at home in this and look forward to the future.

Hi,

I am not a fan for donationware or contribution-ware. I prefer payware or freeware. It is clear. About charity, i don't need to be incited for this and you?

.... and again, I'd suggest a gentle course change- back to celebrating Jan's incredible work and the excitement that the cumulative efforts of our talents here at SOH are/will create with this total C-47 package... soon :).

Best- C
 
Since this vintage Gooney Bird cockpit is the spawn of this august body, how about the contributionware going to support our virtual hangar, this website?

How about this matter is not discussed any further here.
The decision is not ours to make and should be left to those
who are directly concerned.
Whatever it may be will be perfectly acceptable.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion but it was just a suggestion to support SOH kind of like a bake sale.

I wasn't aware that you have been made a Mod.

Why don't we simply appeal to admin to remove my above post, and allow the conversation to return to appreciation of this exquisite effort by the author of this post. I shall re-post my tendered offer in a forum less offensive to the general membership.
 
There's no harm in suggestions but lets keep to our admiration of Jan and team's beautiful vc.
 
I was doing some instruments tests this morning when all of a sudden Ted (Tufun) stepped inside the cockpit. He just wanted to have a look how things were going. What i didn't know was that he had a camera with him... I went on with the test and later on i found this on my desk :

Thanks, Ted, you sly devil ! :encouragement:
