C-97 Update 2.....minor issue.....
I can't get the GPU cart and a fire extinguisher bottle to show up. No problem with the wheel chocks or steps via the Shift + 3 pop-up window. It's not a deal breaker for me, just wondering if any one else has this issue?
My computer hardware is listed in my sig below (all drivers are up-to-date), and I'm running FSX Acceleration on WIN XP Home Edition.
Regards,
Tommy

Good evening Tommy:
If you have been running the C-97G prior to todays 'update' release, I would suggest you move or delete your panel folder and then install the panel folder from the update Then load up and on the 'misc' monitor screen, put your mouse over GPU and 'click' your MIDDLE mouse button - it should then show up for you. The 'middle' mouse button controls the 'visibility'..
Hope this helps.

It would be nice to have the -L version (with the jets) as well. I also found:

I won't swear to it BUT I've heard 'rumors' that there might be an "L" version eventually...

Looks great!
So close to a 377 ...

Getting selfish now, are we
No, not at all. Someone else also inquired about it. I just did not think there would be any interest in it.
Anyway I have prepared a zip file ( no instructions, just the file so you have to make do with what is written herein ) that contains the modified file.
To explain: The Pan Am modified ladder texture is painted into the C97_05.dds file. The default C97_05.dds file is inside the separate catch-all "texture" folder that is inside the Boeing_C-97 folder. So if you were to copy the Pan Am modified C97_05.dds file into that texture folder you would see the Pan Am ladder outside all of your C97s. So, instead you copy the modified PanAm C97_05.dds directly into the "texture.Pan_Am_N1038V" folder. It then overrides the one in the separate texture folder and it displays only when you have the Pan Am version in play. Other C97 versions are not affected. Make sense? Hope so. It works.
As I say I zipped the C97_05.dds file into a zip file named ladder.zip from which you can get the required texture file. Click on the link below and download ladder.zip:

By the way the Pan Am logo displays correctly on the side facing the front of the plane. On the other side it is reversed - cannot help that; thats just the way the default texture was mapped. But the logo is so small that no one would likely ever notice except that now I have spilled the beans.

Finished another unique USAF repaint. It shows Boeing C-97E Stratofreighter, 51-0224 in 1968. Part of the 137th Air Transport Group mission this a/c was a specially equipped C-97E, the "Miss Oklahoma City", also known as the "Talking Bird". From 1961 though 1963 the aircraft was used as an airborne command post to maintain constant secure communications between the nation's capital and President John F. Kennedy during his visits to foreign countries.

Good morning:
It does appear you are correct in your assumption !!
Manfred, I believe, is the one that did that 'skin' and I'm sure he will correct it when he returns from his vacation - it appears he missed that in his 'rush' to releasing it before leaving..
Bill
EDIT: After reviewing the 'texture sheet' it does give me the indication that it was purposely painted like that however when Manfred returns I'll bring it to his attention..
Agree Bill.. it's not a missing texture but painted that way. Can't fathom what the reasoning behind the black area is but I'm sure there is one

Could it be those are dielectric panels so electronic signals can pass through? Much like the nose cone of a fighter, which is of a different material than the rest of the aircraft.
