Douglas C-47 V3 Beta Released

A little modification.

Now to add TacPack...
 
I'm really enjoying the aircraft! :)
Does anyone knows if the rotating beacon on the tail works on P3Dv3? Mine doesn't :wavey:

Edit: NVM, restarted P3D and got them working
 
Loving it

I've been flying this aircraft now for about ten hours and boy, it is good!
I can't believe this is a freeware product. Absolute top notch.

Well done! :)
 
I had already seen this one on August 28th in the FSX screenshot thread, but I didn't dare to ask...............

Its a nice little mod and I'm hoping you will be able/allowed to release it.

Cheers,
Huub

I need to change the gun FX as it uses one from the Captain Sim AC-130 at the moment. I'll also need to get permission from Manfred to release the modified C47.
BTW, TacPack works well with it!
 
AC-47 Questions

Awesome looking AC-47 !! What add-on(s) are required for installation and where can I find them?
Is it for FSX-Acceleration?
Thank you,
Ken Boardman
 
The gunship is a personal mod by Dave Garwood. It isn't available for download (yet). The effect is an effect which came with a payware C-130 and can therefore not be distributed as freeware.

The model is based on Manfred Jahn's original model, which is why Dave needs his permission as well.

It might become available, but perhaps not.

The textures are done by gman5250 and available in the library:

Many thanks Huub. I've been flying the MAAM DC-3 for many years and still love it. Today I downloaded
Mr. Visser and Mr. Jahn's new rendition and am looking very much forward to flying it. I've been a
big fan of the AC-47 since the 60s ~:) I've done several repaints of the FSX (port-over) MAAM DC-3 and
C-47 models and even "looked at" creating a detailed AC-47 model / paint (with miniguns, etc.) but could
never figure it out; so (for this newer version) the AC-47 model / paint is "icing on the cake".
Best regards,
Ken
 
If I can get permission, and find or create a different gun effect I'll release the mod. BTW, the paint shown is my own, not gmans.
 
Shared Cockpit

Is it possible to share the cockpit in the aircraft. You have the complete VC. If my friend and I both have the aircraft both in FSX-A is it possible through FSX Multiplayer-shared cockpit? Designer input inquired. Thanks.

Superb camo paint job Dave. What color are the bottom of wings and belly. Many of the "Dragonships" were painted black on the underside much of the time because much of their
action occurred after dark. It's hard to find good photos of the (black) underside but I've included a few links to illustrations (below).

Ken,

Like I already mentioned in my previous post and like Dave mentioned in his post, the repaint has been done by Gordon "gman5250" Madison. So questions regarding this repaint should be addressed to him.

But I assume the lower surfaces are neutral grey in this repaint (see pictures below).

Cheers,
Huub
