Douglas C-47 V3 Beta Released

Ah guys, this is killing me.....;-)

I'm still in recovery from brain opp, and it'll be another 2 months at least, before i can even think about simming:dizzy:
 
Javis thank you sir. I appreciate your words very much.
Its funny as I am and always have been a serious WWII aviation nut. Spent most of my flying experience online in WWII combat sims all the way back to Warbirds so really I should be the last person on earth wanting to put a dang GPS in this wonderful classic plane. Its strictly an OCD thing I assure. I like to fly my little virtual bush airline in Alaska and Canada and try to keep it as close to what I would be using in the real world if of course it were real :)

So its not a lack of respect for old school piloting, quite contrary I prefer that myself but if I were flying this plane as a DC-3 as part of a little cargo outfit in Alaska or Canada it would almost certainly have at least a handheld GPS and updated radio stack so that was where I was coming from. I just added the GPS handheld from the Carenado 185 bush plane to it as a pop up so that should work for me for now.

Sorry if I ruffled any feathers here asking for that. Hopefully that explains a little better why.

S!
 
Thank you to all for this beautiful... beautiful plane. Amazing! I've been anticipating this like so many others and am simply amazed at how much love and attention went into the development.. and beta no less.

After spending already countless hours flying this treasure with nothing but a huge smile on my face, I wanted to make a few inquires regarding some visuals that I've noticed.

From the VC, the nose color seems static. Is there an easy way to apply the same colors of a new paint scheme to the nose of the plane?

When flying, the shadow of the plane out the window of the VC is just of the VC model..not tail just wings and nose.

Is there anyway to animate the cabin door opening and closing similar to the rear doors?

Look in the texture folder.
You will see noseout.dds.
You can repaint that and put it into the repaint folder of any livery.
 
I would like to remove the nose antenna, What dds file do I have to modify? I'd like the V3 nose exterior to resemble the exterior of V2 if possible.

Thanks

You don't actually need the parking brake on to see the chocks. Just call up the monitor panel (shift+4) and click on the chocks in the MISC panel:

This 'vintage black' office with faded brown upholstery and padding has just found its way to the library here at SOH and flightsim.com as well. Look for 'Douglas_C-47_V3_VC-Black.zip'.

Cheers,

Thanks,

Just a little playing around with a fictiv paint of Air America (just little changes to the original livery from gman5250 here from SOH) .... so that livery is mostly not my work.
