BUFFALO DC-3 coming up!

Yessir, I was re-checking Flight-Sim every few minutes this morning, and saw the new batch on about the twentieth try. Downloaded and installed, now.

Many thanks, Markus! Just simply beautiful, well-worth the wait, and it'll keep me happy while doing my Arctic Resupply Run project, this winter.

Cheers and thanks again, Markus!
 
More Buffaloes!

Anyone interested in this?

For the first time, I'm playing with Traffic Tools (still some mysteries to me...). This is Pete&Sid's Hay River Buffalo Hub, with a massively customized traffic file (replaced all those Cessnas with Buffaloes).
All the other Buffalo repaints (on JBK's DC-4, Mike Stone's Cat, default DC-3, Greg Pepper's/Libardo Guzman's Commando) are already available.
As they are no dedicated AI models, this traffic of course has some frame impact, but it works great.
Once I'm satified with the result, I'll roll it out to you!

Cheers,
Markus.
 
I'll definitely want a copy of that :jump:

Thanks Markus :applause:
Glad you're getting enjoyment out of our scenery's :ernae:

Pete.
 
2nd the motion and call for the buffalo's. I can never have enough. Your missing there Cl-215:mixedsmi:.
 
Your request is noted, gentlemen! :mixedsmi:

But I think I'll add some more:

This one is going to be finished.
I always wanted to take the Commando into my paint shack, and because C-FAVO is already available, I'm working on the second one of the Buffalo's whales, C-GTXW.

Is there any fix for the cargo door behaviour?
It seems like this door is combined with the cowl flaps operations: Each time I like to cool my engines down, I'm loosing some of my cargo... :isadizzy:

But what a pig of a plane! :jump:

Save the radials!
 
Markus, you know I'll never complain about your Canadian excursions:icon_lol:

A couple of notes that may be of interest:
C-GPNR Buffalo Airways C-47A-25-DK, c/n 13333, 42-93423 D17May44 - KG602 RAF Montreal 25May44- UK 30May44-575 Sq 05Ju144-512 Sq M East llOct45 - 437 Sq 04Apr46 - Canadian Govt 16Jun46 - RCAF 09Sep46 - 1 ANS "VCDHJ" (1952) - CAF 12932 Jun70 - 429 Sq - St Saskatoon Mar75 - C-GPNR Buffalo Air Ltd.

Now I noticed that CUE has a different paint ( Joe never liked repetition)

and in a historical note, CUE (Dept of Transport) was the first aircraft to ever land at the Yellowknife airport (until then all operations to the 'knife were amphibious. (CPAL Cansos and PWA Stranraers among others).

As for TXW, this might be an interesting variation.. bare metal top and the green wings
http://www.airliners.net/photo/Buff...1108510/&sid=1e9aca4dd3b99803e66f10337757e197

and there's always C-GTPO, although there might be some licensing "issues" with the "pax" (look closely)
http://www.airliners.net/photo/Buff...0271581/&sid=1e9aca4dd3b99803e66f10337757e197

or TPO this way, without the characters.. but note the lettering of "Buffalo"

(not that you need any more to do... :mixedsmi: )

I'll definately will not start any messing with the mighty Disney corporation's lawyers :eek: (everything I know about these I learned at various Simpsons episodes...), so C-GTPO will be a 'no, thanks!'.

But C-FCUE is a nice variation. I like these markings on the cowling and already did them for my RCAF Daks, so I would just have to change the colour... :wiggle:

We'll see.
