C-47 from Manfred Jahn and team

Gentlemen and Ladies, you have been incredibly patient and supportive throughout the process of developing and readying this aircraft. Your thanks are most appreciated and humbly accepted. I'd like to thank you all for being so supportive and enthusiastic.

This artwork and the other small bits I contributed to this project are my gift to you. Hopefully you will all enjoy the old girl as much as I do. She's a great airplane.
Thank you Manfred for inviting me in on this project. It's been a great ride.

Happy flying.....
 
I'll add to the chorus here by saying a hearty "thank you" to all involved! It looks great and files beautifully, and has that same general 'weighty' feeling on the controls that I've been missing with FS DC-3s since the old dear MAAM FS9 model.

It's hard to improve upon perfection, but I look forward to trying out some panel tweaks myself; adding RXP gauges and replacing the stock radio gauges in the VC with FSD Bendix King gauges.
 
Thank you all involved in the production of the C47 and the C117, these are the best gift we have had for FSX, fantastic aircraft .:medals::medals::icon29::icon29:
 
Whether it is the earlier big Lockheed's which I have flown the wings off or these latest DC-3/Super DC-3's by Manfred and Team, there is something that sets them apart, namely they are hugely immersive, and more so than many payware products. Hat's off once again, well done everyone!!
 
A big thanks to the developers of this magnificent Dakota (this is the way we called the DC3 during and after the war in Europe :applause:

I admire the dedication put out on the project. Whether anyone realizes, it's very inspirational to see something like whats been done bring those together for the love of the hobby. Freeware like this is a rarity to many these days. I haven't actually taken the time to enjoy flight simulation in quite some time. With the C-47 project, this has given me the urge to fly again.

Great job team! :salute:

And thank-you!!

+1 to have the vintage VC
 
To paraphrase Winston Spencer Churchill, "Never in the annals of Flight Simulator, has so much been owed by so many to so few".
 
Both the C-117 and the C-47, plus all of the paints and the new engine sounds are all remarkable works. The talents of Manfred Jahn and his team is astounding. For you guys to devote the enormus amounts of time and to make this project available to the sim community is deeply appreciated. I will have many hours of enjoyment flying these aircraft for years to come. Thanks to each of you for a job that is over the top.
 
I can't properly express my gratitude that people like you take so much time and trouble to make things of this quality for the rest of us to enjoy for free. It's a labour of love, and it shows. Thank you all!
 
Gman you are a Gentlemen, thank you for making this plane that much better. You art work is much appreciated, and THANKS again guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sent you a private message in regards to the updated sound file which lowered the sound level between interior and exterior.
I'm not sure the reply went out, in case it didn't, the new update does help, Thank you.

Your welcome! Designed using a THX certified 200 watt speaker system, didn't take account of headphone users.

Gents, your aeroplane has taken me back to the late '60's wherein I worked on and flew in them as a radio engineer. Your sound package is by far the best I've heard in all my experience with the flight sim. I had chills up and down my spine: I couldn't speak to my wife, I was that choked up. Thank you all so much for this aircraft, and for all the work and passion that has gone into her.

All the Best,

Paul J [/COLOR]

I couldn't have said it better! I had the same feelings when developing those big radial sounds pumped thru 200 watts speaker system!

Ah headphones... don't use them myself, but I can lower the interior sounds. I will run some test and provide some info tomorrow. I will create an alternate sound.cfg file.

Oh yes, THAT would be a marvelous mod, Ted! I, for just one, would be most appreciative of your (further) efforts.

Cheers, Ted.
 
What a wonderfull old bird you all have created. :jump::jump::jump:
Thanks to all involved, and that more old birds may leave your hangar. :icon29::guinness::icon29::guinness:

Best, Erwin
 
Thanks!

Thanks for the C-47! As primarily a DC-3 driver, I don't like many of the DC-3's that are out there, payware included. I took it up for a spin around the pattern this morning, and I am going to enjoy learning this bird! Thanks for all the time and effort that went into this.
