Douglas C-47 V3 Beta Released

Jan,

I am so grateful that you came out of retirement to do the VVC. It is a master piece. I feel totally emerged every time I step in to the cockpit. :applause:

Only thing missing is the smell, and I tried an old pair of unwashed socks, but that didn't quite do it :mixed-smiley-027:
 
First thanks for masterpiece

I don't know if repaints is allowed but I did this for my own civilian flight

This may help...

I have engines 100% and adjust my volume thru the external speakers (THX sound system).

I watched the video and I appreciate the quick reply. My only source of sound is my headset, my computer has no speakers attached due to "disturbing the family" issues. :)
I noticed the video had all the sliders at 50%, I'll try that. Thanks.

Really ?.. You did check that the 'fx_c47parajump.fx' file is in your Effects folder and the 2 'fx_para1' and -2. bmp's are in your Effects/Texture folder, did you ?

Truth is i did not try the parajumpers myself yet. In fact it's Daniel's addition and he's on holidays atm.

I'll try it asap and let you know.

cheers,
jan

Here you go, Manfred : http://www.daleair.com/aromas/transport

Works a treat when i swap my virtual flying cap for a steam-engine driver's hat every now and then.

Ok, no typical vintage cockpit aroma yet but i did tell them about a vast community outthere who, on top of the visual and audio aspect, is eagerly waiting to get their noses involved into a virtual flying immersion as well. That's about two years ago... If i were Daleair i'd be on it like a fly on a turd ( believe it or not (check it out if not) while they don't offer aircraft cockpit aroma they do have pinguin droppings aroma amongst their vast collection ! :eek:)

cheers,
jan
 
I just wanted to add my immense gratitude to everyone who had a hand in the C47/DC3 project. This airplane has, in a couple of short days, soared to the top of my "favourites" list and has, at the very least, re-invigorated my interest in FSX. I've been in flight simming since the Sub-LOGIC (early) days and I know what kind of effort something like this takes. To share this gratis with the community reminds me of the good old days of FS, but is far, far beyond (in quality) anything I've experienced in those said "good old days". Thank you very, very much indeed. We are all deeply in your debt.

Thank you and well done for the C47 version 3.

Amazing what can be achieved by such work. Thanks for bringing the C-47/DC3 into the 21st Century and FSX/P3D.
 
Absolutely fantastic aircraft!
Thank you for all of the hours it took to create this masterpiece!

Just a note on the sounds: I tested in FSX and P3D and noticed no difference in sounds in either, although my sound settings are the same in both sims.

Might I point out the way that Ted managed the sounds to replicate the way engines sound when changing throttle settings without changing prop settings? Not only did he faithfully capture the wonderful tones of these Wasp engines, but he managed to capture the sound dynamics of variable prop aircraft in a way most simulations do not.

Superb work, Ted.
 
After two days of trying, I eventually managed to download and install it in both FSX and Steam. One thing I'm finding, is that some of the cockpit texture are grainy, especially when moving my eyepoint around the cockpit, and some of the writing is indistinct unless I zoom right in. This is in no way a criticism of the model, and it may well be down to one of my settings. So if anybody can give me some helpful advice, I'd be very grateful. Please don't say "should've gone to Specsavers"!

I found that it's easier to trim the aircraft by using throttle settings, rather than using the trim wheel. No problems flying it, and I'm enjoying the experience, so many thanks to all concerned.

Thanks to all for such a beautiful aircraft. I'm not a huge DC-3 fan but this cockpit will probably convert me.
 
As VP On-Line Flying at DC3 Airways it was obviously an immense pleasure to finally see the latest version of the C47 arrive. We at DC3 Airways fly only the DC3 and it's derivitives and also (rarely) the DC4. To have such a wonderful virtual aircraft to fly, be it P3D or FSX, with it's retro virtual cockpit, wonderful sounds and textures etc. is a fantastic addition to the immersion that I always try to engage in, especially when re-enacting WW2 events such as Market Garden which we intend to do this September.

Many, many thanks to the team and the testers for all the many hours of hard work the past 2-3 years and for providing the flight sim community with such an outstanding product and at an unbeatable price.

Kudos to you all and I personally look forward to many years of flying this wonderful aircraft and getting "as real as it gets" in my simming.
