Just found out I will be visiting Miramar Airshow next Saturday.
They will have the AC-47 "Spooky" on display

Looking forward to that day

There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Have any of you thought of sharing the cockpit in the C-47 V3? I think it would be fantastic with this fabulous VVC. I'm not asking to share but wanting to know if its possible? Has anyone tried it? I asked Jarvis and Tufun in PM's but they don't know if it can or not and suggested posting the question here.
Tried it some time ago in FSX, it works!
I have a little difficulty reading the data on the Control and Monitor panels. Found I can drag them to a larger size and then I put them on my 2nd screen during the flight. However, I believe I can change their size permanently in the config file...just don't know which numbers to change. Would appreciate if someone could give me some direction here to do that.
Thanks,

1. Go to [your FSX root folder]\SimObjects\Airplanes\Douglas_C-47_V3.12_Beta\panel
2. open panel.cfg (using notepad) and scroll down untill you see:

in this code I already multiplied the original values by 1.5 (orange values) which obviously makes the windows 1.5 times larger. You can try different factors to fit your needs.
The original values are commented out (using '//').
Hope this helps.

I love this aircraft, well done. Any idea on the time frame for adding cockpit lighting? If or when complete, how will we be notified?
