C-47 from Manfred Jahn and team

Man, I can't wait trying this beauty. I did fresh OS install of W8.1 in thursday and I haven't re-installed Prepar3d yet.

But awesome job from the whole team :applause:
 
A MASSIVE THANK YOU to ALL those talented artists involved with the creation of these beauties!!! There are a couple of special thanks for me. Not because they maybe better than any of the others, but simply because they're the aspects that light my fire more than most. That is the sound file (TuFun I believe?), and whoever created the FDE. It just FEELS wonderfull to fly.

These releases make me proud to be a member of this forum - thank everyone!!!!!!

And no, not because Anthony says we should:kilroy: but because its right:applause:, and it greatly enhances my sim.
 
Sound problem solved

Using the Sound.TW file eliminated the central "dead spot" for me, both in the stock DC-3 and the C-47_V2. @Navy Chief, I hope you have the same results. Weird that the stock DC-3 sound.cfg should be defective.
 
A great plane.

Hi all,

This is my first post here on Sim-outhouse, in fact I only signed up here after reading the thread about the DC3 v2 and finding all the posts so fascinating.

Thank you all for the patience it must take to develop these aircraft, truly amazing work.

I did notice however one observation, I'm reluctant to mention it, but it may have been done deliberately for a reason or it may in fact be an error. When you look at the exterior of the C47 front cockpit windows, the windscreen has a small square window at the outer edge. However when you look from the VC there is just one long windscreen with no small square window visible. Just an observation.

Anyway, great aircraft and she flies lovely, and the new sound files are great too, especially the start up, thank you all so much for all your hard work.
 
You'll find links for downloads for the DCA liveries for the new models in the DCA forums. They haven't been updated onto the main page as yet (don't ask me when, it's nothing to do with me!)

Those DCA liveries for the MJ C-47 are in dire need of darker alpha layers. They are way too flat, no shine or reflection. The GlobalEnv_AC_Chrome.dds file is a must too. I modified the liveries myself and they look 100% better, no disrespect to the painter intended.
 
Thought I would clear up the sound issue.
The basic Manfred Jahn C-47 sound is aliased to the default FSX DC-3 sound file. If you have removed the default DC-3 or changed that sound file you may have no sound or partial sound. A simple fix is to copy and paste the default DC-3 sound folder into your MJ C-47 aircraft folder and overwrite the existing folder that comes with the aircraft.

The better fix is to download TuFuns sound pak and install that. It's a magnificent package and a simple install. This should alleviate all of the sound issues.

Well feel free to send em back to me so I can see what you've changed, am always open to new ways of doing things...

I would like to add my name to long list of people who appreciate this great airplane. It has one of the best flight characteristics of any airplane I have installed. At the top of that list is how well it trims on final approach. It flies just like a real airplane on final. Set up everything and then make only small changes to the power setting as needed.

I've been flying the plain metal version hauling cargo all over South Georgia.

Please excuse this question if it has already been answered in one of the hundreds of previous posts.....Are there any plans for a Viet Nam era cockpit for the "Spooky" paint scheme?

Thanks again for a wonderful addition to FSX.:applause:

Set Realism to Hard (max all). Wait till you get the red zeroes. Wait another minute or two. Whoosh there she goes up in flames.

Sorry I can't figure out what you mean by "I have at your first c47 real engine 1.4 installed"
 
Yet another note of thanks. What an extraordinary piece of work! It's replaced a number of payware aircraft in my hangar - and not just C-47s. A pleasure to fly the whole fleet - the Basler, the C-117D and now this. A great contribution - thanks again!

What did a SEA Skytrain cockpit look like?
 
What did a SEA Skytrain cockpit look like?

MJ, to be completely honest with you, I have only been in the cockpit of one AC47 gunship once years ago while in Vietnam. To the best of my memory the cockpit was pretty much the same as post WWII but with updated radios. I realize that's not much help....If this is something you might consider I will be more than happy to do some research looking for cockpit photos for you.

Thanks....
