    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Douglas C-47 V3 Beta Released

Beautiful!!:engel016: Vc day and a night shot with a temporary cabin light 'til the team add the real deal:wiggle:




 
Great model, thanks. Now please tell me what the noise is rolling at about 40 knots? Sounds like a crowd outside throwing large rocks at the plane.

It's a sound effect that corresponds to the vibration of items in the cockpit and structure in general (which is quite common in older aircraft and in some newer ones). It sounds pretty good & accurate from the VC but the negative is that it's also audible on the exterior of this model. I'm sure they will eventually tune up the sound details in due time but in the meantime, a user can mute the sounds by either using null sound files or commenting out the appropriate file lines.
 
Wait till ya ride an old freight type .. it lurch's and rattles , this is so well done with this C-47/DC-3 and even a passenger class seat ... me in the Jump seat :adoration: it has this real creaking sound to it .... tho the PAX cabin is a lot quieter.
 
Thank you Sirs.This is a wonderful gift.
The work involved in this work of Art is
staggering.

I can't wait to fly it.

A million thanks.

Anthin.

PS.If anyone could do an Aer Lingus post war paint .
 
:encouragement:
This aircraft is great!! I was so excited (it was like opening a Christmas present when you're eight years old) even though I didn't have time to fly it, I just had to load it up and become familiar with the new (old) cockpit. I loved the sound of those radials idling.

One quick question though.... my view keys are all wackie. I use F9 for virtual cockpit, F10 for tower view, F11 is locked spot, and because F12 is used for frame grab photographs is Steam I have reassigned Top Down to F8. What parameter do I reassign so I can have my familiar view presets? Is it camera views? I have never done this before so I'd appreciate a little guidance.

Thanks again to all who contributed to this project. It has exceeded my expectations.

Regards,
Obie
 
Missing Gauge?

Great plane!! Thanks SOH. Simply beautiful!

Has anyone noticed that there is a gauge (radiosvvc!DH125_RMI) called out the VC of the panel.cfg that is missing in the radiosvvc gauge? Bob.
 
​First time I have been able to get on here in 17 hours because of a "Server too busy" message. Just want to say thank you to Jan and Manfred for such a great aircraft.
 
Just finished my first long distance flight from Bremen, Germany to Nea Anchialos, Greece.
Need a Douglas Sleeper Transport! :running:
 
Dang. Finally able to make a post.

Wow, Amazing, Fantastique, unbelievable,..... None of these words can come close to expressing the quality of this gem.


My compliments and gratitude to Manfred Jahn, Jan Visser and the rest of the team.


I was lucky that the download completed despite the website being overloaded.


Had a quick flight to admire this product of mutual flight simmers love. I could actually adjust the mixture, just by listening to the sound of the engines.
 
Now I gotta get the Paint Kit ... so I can get the Gooney Bird up and running. It's ex-RAAF so has the cargo doors....but was refitted with 'normal' seats, etc...;)
 
Simply magnificent - handles like a real one and sounds like a real one of that vintage (no pretty seats and sound proofing). Thanks heaps!
 
Nice work if you can get it. I tried about 50 times over a 14 hour time span yesterday, and have tried 10 times so far today. Still haven't been able to get it to download. Getting "waiting for sim-outhouse" message at the moment.
 
Thank you so much to the whole team who produced this exquisite work of art. I think the whole of the flight sim community are in your debt, it's beautiful :applause:


Regards and again, thanks,

Ian & the whole FS community.
