C-97

[usafvet]

Any updates folks? I have too many ANG units to put to work.....

Nice avatar! Not many pics of HC-97's around, are there ...

Thanks for bumping this thread. We are revamping selected sections of Greg Pepper's VC and that takes a bit of time, even if we leave 70 percent or so non-functional for the WIP release. This is what it looks like now.

NICE! Yes, the cockpit needed an update. WOW!

Thanks MJ, could we possibly see some EC/HC's also? If so great, if not, perhaps a paint from some of the other talented folks here. Cockpit is looking super.
Cannot wait, I have Peppers KC-97 fleet in use (E,G,L) but alas they are long in tooth. Keep it up, many great skins for so many great units out there.

 

[mjahn]

Yes, I'm interested in the EC- and HC- variants as well, and they should be an easy mod. We had the KC's in Frankfurt and the EC's in Wiesbaden and Berlin. Never seen any HC's, though some were stationed in Scotland I understand.

 

[usafvet]

HC's were in Japan/Okinawa/Scotland (usually based near water). I also forgot the RC's

Possible Beta release KC-97G dressed up as 53-136. Note staining, coated areas etc. but no custom alpha reflection, shine or bumps yet.

Wow, that's a very-very nice plane! Can't wait for that thing to come out!

 

[usafvet]

Ok, time to prod the post again.....any news on release?

 

[mjahn]

Coming along, coming along, albeit slowly. Hoping to get the Beta release done sometime after Easter. Here she is with a bit of reflection, spec shine and just a pinch of bumps. (Interesting observation on bumps: had to invert mirrored surfaces in order to keep innies as innies and outies as outies ... if you know what I mean...)

It is one hell off an interesting aircraft, the types It did refuel , course playing around with A2As Strat puts this, it into a WOW category with the energy and effort gone into this one so far, one amazing aircraft in its own right , going thru the records we only had the C-97 cargo come into New Zealand, obviously I missed them, the only types close to this type I did put my peepers onto was the C-124 and the Connies and RD4s - whoops the LC-47s but the C-97 always seemed to miss out on them.

Man oh man....between the C-97 and waiting for the DC-3/C-47 vintage panel I'm like a kid before Christmas!!!

I would like to add that I have many payware aircraft that are NOT as good looking as Mjahn's DC-3 and this C-97!!!

The FS community never fails to amaze me!!! Thank You!!!

whut in the heck is a "Bump"?...not the bump of the thread..but a bump that was mention up about about the fuselage...

Here's the Tanker in P3Dv2.5 with FTX Global enabled. The Tanker feels heavy but in a good way.

well i for one am highly disappointed!!!!!!!!!! im also i wanna and this fits me as well......the truth?...i saw all the banter about a "tanker" ,my first and very incorrect thought was......OH GOODY, A TANKER!!!.....which i thought was going to be the fire fighting Air Tanker.......

I know this is freeware, but my credit card is ready!

I painted this once for FS2002. Look forward to painting Miss Oklahoma City again with this new bird!

Just awesome work Ted. I don't fly much Military hardware any more but I'd fly that just to listen to the engines, lol. Great job!

Wow, she's looking great! Have always loved seeing the SAC 'sash' on aircraft.
