Hi guy, cheers and superb effort indeed, we are planning on going back to redo the with some off your very idea's.

It is amazing how simply it is to get the photo , is the shear cost off the program that glues them together and his knowledge, after Greg did the pano I jump and took the photos, this one thing that also struck me was how he could move in such a small area ... I had to be off the aircraft simply not to bump anything, strange as Greg point out the light also affected it, being to bright in places - but the end result is spectacular.

Yes he can also do the zoom onto the specific panel and gauges but in the time frame we have - before the crowds arrive into the Museum we have to close it up and be out hence the reason for multi-pul visits .... lotta fun tho :encouragement:

With what Jan has come up with and Mike doing his Wizard stuff, get it all glued the Manfred and his teams DC-3/C-47 ... Ted's and sound pack CRIKEY :eagerness:

Thanks for sharing my panorama Ian. It might be worth pointing out that this was actually a test shoot to see if the system would work with such a severely sloping flight deck and I was planning to go back and do a more detailed one but so far circumstances have prevented that from occurring. Maybe in the future I will get the chance of another visit.
 
Can't wait to fly this bird.

Since this is basically a SOH project perhaps you should charge a nominal download fee and donate it to SOH.

5 bucks?

Great Idea! A bargain at quadruple the price. What do you think Mods and Ickie??
 
Hi,
Very bad idea...you don't think at the non $ countries banks charging the change! Perhaps a really donationware but à payware ....hmmm!

Great updates, Jan et al. Together with a great volume of paints by RVAH-3, it's an amazing project. Thanks for all collaborators' efforts.

One for and one against, which is I am sure how it would proceed.
Please let's not derail this fascinating topic with further debate on this subject but wait for the project to continue
exactly as its developers want it to.

Regards,
Nick.
 
while we wait, I might as well throw in another paintjob....
work in progress on the first frontier scheme:

Oh, what's in a name Jan Kees. As a matter of fact my name is Jan Gerbrand ( the latter is my granddad )

But you're right of course, it should remain clear who does what. :)

Masterful repaint ! I did truckloads of liveries for the earlier DC-3 models, starting from FS5 onwards, including Frontier naturally. Great fun ! I'd almost say 'those were the days! '...I've always found repainting very relaxing and very rewarding. Kinda really miss that... Actually i envy you... :)

Thanks a lot for all your superb repaint work, Jan Kees ! I'm off to Orbx to grab some of your latest from your new paintwork thread. Thanks again ! :encouragement:

cheers,
Jan
 
Manfred's, Jan et al-

This thread, more than any other, has kept my attention riveted for over a year now. Since discovering Manfred's C-47 THROUGH THIS THREAD ACTUALLY, I have resurrected my love affair with the DC-3. Mostly, for a decade now, I fly big Boeings for fun. For the past year, I have interrupted the normal schedule of EGSS-VHHH or WSSS or RJAA or..... well you get the idea.... with Misty Fijord meanderings and the run into Bettles.

I agonize over spending time in Villavalencia, or Ketchikan? Should I learn the intricacies of Hump flying or concentrate on the inter-continental routes of the 30s and 40s when the DC-3 set the world on its ear? Will I ever not smile at the feeling of relaxation that hand flying a grand piano produces? Light as a kite and as solid as a rock- all in one? London City to the Royal Suite as a Kittyhawk flight in the RAE scheme has resulted in moments of self-actualization. All this mind you WITHOUT the VVC! Can you imagine the insanity once I can revel in the glorious vista unveiled?

I CAN :)

A thousand thank-yous for what is, and for WHAT IS YET TO BE!

A well known feeling, finalized with a most agreeable expression of gratitude, and all this delicately put into words of poetic quality :) A big cheers for that, C :)
