great! now we just need to find someone willing to do the repaint :salute:

CG_1976 · Dec 5, 2010

Now that SAAF Dakota is a rare one and a unique paint on her. That would earn a spot in my hanger.

Odd, this happening when you buy the plane or my sound pack? All my sales are handled through the regular sim shops.

Not the sound pack - for me it was the base package DC-3 from Just Flight.

I love that colour scheme - she used to tow gunnery targets. Hence the dazzle scheme

Didn't they paint a Lockheed PV-1 Ventura in a similar colour scheme?

shackleton_boy · Dec 5, 2010

i'm not sure

Stratobat · Dec 5, 2010

Hey Henk,

Just had a look... There was such a colour scheme. The winch motor was placed above the fuselage over the turret blank.

Is the Dazzledak still around?

Regards,
Stratobat

You can download the enhanced sound pack now, from this page:

http://www.justflight.com/faqs.asp?drdProduct=255

This free upgrade will add a brand new, high-quality sound pack to the DC-3 package.

This update can be used by users of the DVD and Download versions of the DC-3, and also upgrades the DC-3 Expansion Pack.

Note: if you installed the DC-3 and/or DC-3 Expansion Pack after the 6th December 2010 you do not need this update.

*Please back-up any repaints that you may have added prior to installing this update.*

If anyone has already installed the Sonic Solutions DC-3 sound pack, they should still install this upgrade as the sounds have been modified specifically for our DC-3.

We are currently working on an update to address the other issues that have been identified in this product.

Thanks
Martyn

Thanks for this, Martyn. Looking forward to the update and sure hope that the VOR and ADF indication issues have been corrected.

cheers,

It's still flying, but with turboprops!
Here's a link to it:http://www.dc-3.co.za/dc-3-individual-aircraft-history/cn-11925.html

Putting Turbo props on a DC3/C47 is like spaying the old girl :icon_lol:

Stratobat · Dec 6, 2010

Hey Mrogers,

Thank you for the link - The photograph of the aircraft flying over Cape Town looks pretty awesome

I don't know... I rather like the Turbo Dak :greenf:

shackleton_boy · Dec 7, 2010

So now that we know 77 still flies as a C47TP - who wants to the repaint :jump:

Alan_A · Dec 7, 2010

Just wanted to say that the new add-on soundset is a big improvement on the Just Flight original and is also bettter than the Sonic Solutions standalone version. Nice work on the remix and the extra sounds - I love the way she rattles in flight now. Great atmosphere and I'll be getting a lot of use out of her.

Now if A2A ever gets round to releasing a modular version of Accusim as they've sometimes hinted they might...

Sorry - just daydreaming... Am quite happy with the DC-3 in her present form.

I like this plane...visually, she's beautiful, and I was grateful for the first-day purchase bonus of the expansion pack, which includes some great models.

She flies well, but there are two problems: 1) the interior sounds don't seem convincing to me. No brake squealing, metal rattling, or bone-jarring engine noise; and 2) the manual does a great job of showing me what's what in the model, but doesn't give me the detailed data I'd like to see in order to fly the bird correctly.

How is the overhead panel is it better than the overhead panel on the stock DC3 in FSX. The MAAM one looks lika a 2d panel. I do have the spit & hurricane from JF I like them.

CodyValkyrie · Dec 7, 2010

The overhead panel on the JF/AH DC-3 is modeled in 3d to include switches, etc.

Martyn · Dec 8, 2010

Hi Jamie,

Here is a shot of the overhead on the C-47:

Thanks
Martyn

TeaSea · Dec 9, 2010
