If you mean Jan's, no, not yet. He explains why in post #512 in this thread.

If you want to "roll your own," which some of us have done, you'll find instructions in posts 558, 586, 593 and 597. There are more, but if you go through those four and follow the steps in order, you'll come away with the best vintage VC currently available. Jan's is in a whole different league, but we're going to have to be patient.

Hope this helps!
 
AlanA: Much as I like your repaint, I am as much taken with the mountains she's flying over. What scenery is it?
Thx.
 
@KellyB - just to set the record straight, the repaint is Jankees', not mine. Credit where it's due!
 
Jan:

Has there been any communication from Hansi? Here's hoping he is well.... the gauges, whilst important and integral to the VVC are secondary.

i (and most others here I'm sure) keep visiting this thread with cautious optimism... Jankees repaints do much to feed the obsession ;).

Hope all is well with you also!

Best- Carl

Well, you can't fly a DC-3 with a pair of old leather seats and some padding, can you.. :teapot:

Just coincidently, and you have to really believe that, i havegood news to tell: a well known and well respected developer by us all here has stepped forward and very kindly offered his help with the gauge coding and anims for the VVC : Mike Cyul !


Mike already contacted me just about after i had to tell you all about the sad affair of Hansi gone missing but i wanted to wait atleast another month for Hansi to reply to my emails before finally having to come to the conclusion that Hansi seems to have really thrown in the towel as far as developing for FS is concerned, virtual aviation and computers all together. He did that before, due to family matters, but now it seems deffinately final. I still can't believe it and probabely never will but there comes a time one has to take the inevitable for granted and move on. Nothing would please me more to atleast know that he's alright and i keeping hoping that day will come sooner or later.


Personally i have had a lotta problems with my computer this year, starting with "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" and, eventually, ending up with a new computer of which the power supply gave up the ghost after working for 4 hours.... Well, you know, someone once said that bad tidings never travel alone and do i know the truth about that !


Anyway, gents, my new monster machine is running fine now, as are freshly installed FSX and P3D and a while ago i got the VVC back in a freshly installed 3dsMax too ( thank Heaven for external drives ! ) and just recently started working on the gauges which will now be coded by Mike.


So, i'm 110% sure i'm speaking on behalf of all of you here : Welcome aboard, Mike !! :ernaehrung004:


How about that for a spot of good news, éh ? :encouragement:


Mind you, boys, a lot for us to do now but atleast you know work on the VVC is set in motion again. I want to thank you all for your patience and understanding and i'll be back here about the new gauges once i've got something worthwhile to show you.


Until later,
Jan
 
I'm so excited I almost wet myself. Seriously, I was about to contact you and ask to just send me the panel graphics and I'd dump in stuff from my warehouse of various and sundry gauges and aircraft in an effort to get a superior panel for mine.

Now I can just wait and let you guys finish it up!:pop4:
 
OMG. That is absolutely fantastic news. this by itself feels like an early Christmas gift (or do we just categorize it under Black Friday chills?).

Mike, thanks so much for stepping up, and help Jan complete his amazing VVC in which he has already spent so much time and energy.

And of course for us flight simmers that can't wait to get our hands on that panel to upgrade Manfred's outstanding C47/DC-3 (Manfred, no offence meant by using the word "upgrading")
 
That is great news. It's a shame Hansi has gone AWOL, but I know the gauge coding is in good hands. Well done Mike.:encouragement:
 
Wow. Just wow.

Sometimes good things do happen after two o'clock in the morning (my local time, at least).

Eagerly but patiently (but still eagerly) standing by.
 
Thats very good news - looking forward to the upcoming vc - i am sur it will be a masterpiece :applause:

Thanks to all involved people for giving us simmers such a great gift!
