Attention all DC-3 fans !

I would like to put Manfred's slow start effect into the C-46 COMANDO by Libarrdo Guzman García. I tried it the control panel showed up, but when I click on the start witches in the control panel nothing happens.
I also added this info to the cfg file.

Part of the formula for that is hidden in the cab files and part is hardcoded into the C47R model itself, so there is no way to port this to another aircraft that I know of. Sorry.
 
@mjahn- look at what YOU and your team have allowed the world to enjoy- thank-you and Merry Christmas sir! Should your interests ever take you in the DC-3 direction, that would be wonderful.

@javis- is Santa bringing us a present Christmas Day? A few more piccies would be greatly appreciated and would help hold me over until the elves finish their work ;). Seriously, your work will take this gem to new heights- to new standards- bravo! Merry Christmas!

2015 will be known as the year of the Dakota VVC ;)

Thanks.

The question I had was about the SECOND PAA scheme postwar. Alky's links on all but the last show the FIRST postwar (all unpainted metal). The last pic in his link shows the elusive second scheme on Clipper Tabitha May in Dulles.

It was indeed - as became clear when I read it through again. Apologies to you and to Alky, who was on target. That's what I get for reading too fast and posting in the wee hours! Was also carried away a bit by my own enthusiasm - the Blue Ball scheme was the one I grew up on (b. 1960), so I love seeing it on anything but especially the older hardware.

That said, @Jankees, I'd be up for N877MG as well, if and when you get around to it.
 
And let me echo what Carl said just above - happy holidays and a healthy and prosperous (and virtual and vintage) new year to everyone who's worked so hard to bring us this magnificent creature - Manfred, Alexander, Ted, Hansi, Jan, Mike, all of our repainters, and of course all others whose names I've forgotten to mention. I'm relatively new here, so I hope everyone else will help me out by adding to the list. We're grateful, guys!
 
Proper DC-3 Model

Hi Guys,

Please look at the DC-3 photo posted by JanKees. Most of the US primary Airlines (PAA, American etc.) did not use ex-C-47's - but actual DC-3's. This means that, in order to maintain the extremely accurate standard that we have so far, we need a slightly different model. Namely we need to get rid of that navigators astro-dome, add a tail cone, and delete the cargo door and hinges. I fully realize that our modeler is occupied elsewhere, and I certainly do NOT want this to seem a criticism - just a plead for some alterations to the existing model as time permits. Merry Christmas to you all.

Bill
 
Aye Bill...."@mjahn- look at what YOU and your team have allowed the world to enjoy- thank-you and Merry Christmas sir! Should your interests ever take you in the DC-3 direction, that would be wonderful."

Hopefully after the -97...if time permits.... Fingers x'ed

No pics, Cav,but i'm happy to say that the first batch of gauges Mike sent me is working. :) The second batch is in the works. We'll concentrate on that for the coming weeks and once we have all gauges working we'll do the radios. The Sperry AP will need special attention and that's why we'll probabely welcome Warwick 'Wozza' Carter on board as well. I hope to find some time in between to do more cosmetic work too.

Panagra DC-3

Hi Guys,

I have the new PAA texture. MANY thanks. Would someone (janKees?) please do a Panagra DC-3 texture. Panagra (PanAmerican Grace, which was half owned by PAA) had a wonderful operation that was based in Panama. Most people don't realize that if you draw a great circle route from Miami to Buenos Arias, it will go down the west coast of South America, and thru Panama. They were a major Central and Southern American airline.

Best regards, Bill

Great news Jan! Whatever form we get news of progress in, we are grateful.

Hi again, Incidentally - the last PAA texture was for a 1 series model. It can be converted to the latest version (2), but with the new nose introduced with the 2nd version, textures made for the first series don't work on the 2 series aircraft. Bill

Hi Jan,

Any information on the progress of your amazing VVC project is very welcome, even without pics.

Prettige Kerstdagen and een voorspoedig 2015.

Manfred

Your progress is amazing, are you close enough for a hint at a possible release date? I have been following you for the better part of 2014 and this is wonderful. You DC-3 really has no peers, and this panel will be the icing on the cake.

Thank you for all your past efforts, may they continue long into the future.
Regards,
Henry
 
I think the holdup right now is me, as we've had some health issues on my wife's side of the family, and I've been travelling to help with things. But that is over now, and I should be back to proving Jan with gauges very soon.

EDIT: In fact, just sent some more off to Jan. :)
