Good folks of Sim Outhouse, I call to thee...

In all seriousness, could do with some help... Myself and Larry and co are looking at our next project... after the Mallard and A (Both short final for completion)

What we're considering... is a Fairchild C119G Flying Boxcar. Long overdue and often longed for... yet nobody has done one in a long time.

I've been doing some exploratory work now my texture work on the two current projects is done, and I know we have a wealth of information among the members here... What have we got?

Anyone with documents or resources would be greatly appreciated, personal knowledge, advice or technical drawings especially...
 
there's one in the museum, here in Brussels. If you need pics of certain parts?

I think the biggest help right now would be PDF service manuals or POHs, any good photos of gear and the gear mechanism (That's one i've spent hours trying to find clear information on and its a tough one to find exact details of (especially the hub and axle joint and the suspension components)
 
A dream comes true :) :)

I'd be happy to make a donation to cover expenses for the manuals! This is no joke!

Cheers,
Mark
 
coincidentally, i was trying the old Daisuke Yamamoto 2002/04 model last week, actually works quite well, all gauges show with no warnings, although obviously there's issues with prop and glass, all in all, not bad for a 10 year old port over but a dedicated fsx model would be something very much to look forward to, good luck guys

cheers ian
 
Absolutely thrilled that you guys are taking on this project! My Dad used to jump out of these aircraft as a paratroop officer with the 82nd Airborne Division many moons ago. Mike :ernaehrung004:
 
I have provided to the build group a full set of SACs and pilot manuals which should help get the project off the ground.
