Douglas C-47 v3 Livery Thread

[Butcherbird17]

This is my take on SNAFU on how she looks today. Will be uploading this one and 3 others sometime this weekend.

And this one has made it to the library as well

Please can someone help me with the alterations in the config file of the steering in the contact point to allow rudder steering I am completly stumped.

Cheers Chris

Chris-

Have a peek in the .air file- there under contact points (after all the liveries and cameras) there are TWO almost identical lines with the second line commented out (//). Only ONE value is different. Just comment out the first, remove the // from the second and you are done!

I'm away from my sim atm, so if you get stuck I will put the specific lines in here tomorrow.

USAF Air Rescue Service C-47 #C-012 (v3) has been uploaded.

Looking forward to that one Steve. I just uploaded 4 paints for the NACA, Patuxent, SNAFU and Varig.
They should be ready for D/L once Rami approves them.

The area of the aircraft.cfg file the relates to the steering is about 3/4th of the way down and looks like this:

[contact_points]
//0 Class <0=none,1=wheel, 2=scrape, 3=float>
//1 Longitudinal Position (feet)
//2 Lateral Position (feet)
//3 Vertical Position (feet)
//4 Impact Damage Threshold (Feet Per Minute)
//5 Brake Map (0=None, 1=Left, 2=Right)
//6 Wheel Radius (feet)
//7 Steer Angle (degrees)
//8 Static Compression (feet) (0 if rigid)
//9 Max/Static Compression Ratio
//10 Damping Ratio (0=Undamped, 1=Critically damped)
//11 Extension Time (seconds)
//12 Retraction Time (seconds)
//13 Sound Type
//14 Airspeed limit for retraction (KIAS)
//15 Airspeed that gear gets damage at (KIAS)

point.0=1, -55.75, 0.0, -2.875, 1600.0, 0, 0.93, 180.0, 0.44, 2.00, 0.6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
//point.0=1, -55.75, 0.0, -2.875, 1600.0, 0, 0.93, 72.0, 0.44, 2.00, 0.6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
point.1=1, -18.50, -9.12, -9.95, 1600.0, 1, 1.89, 0.0, 0.52, 1.33, 0.50, 8.0, 11.0, 2.0, 166.0, 166.0
point.2=1, -18.50, 9.12, -9.95, 1600.0, 2, 1.89, 0.0, 0.52, 1.33, 0.50, 7.5, 16.0, 3.0, 166.0, 166.0

The lines in question above are in Italics. All you need to do is change them from as they are to as follows:

//point.0=1, -55.75, 0.0, -2.875, 1600.0, 0, 0.93, 180.0, 0.44, 2.00, 0.6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
point.0=1, -55.75, 0.0, -2.875, 1600.0, 0, 0.93, 72.0, 0.44, 2.00, 0.6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

All I have done is added the "//" from where it starts "point.0=1...." and removed the "//" from where it says "point.0=1.....".

In any configuration file adding the "//" makes it not to be read by the program...while removing "//" makes the line be read by the program.

Hope that helps.

I know at least one person who will be very happy

I just opened the SOH home page for the first time today, and my heard skipped a beat when I saw this (at least I hope it was only one beat).

It brings back memories that literally brought tears to me eyes. I watched this graceful lady fly so low over our house that we could actually see the markings clearly.
I was only a little kid standing outside our house with my father as the engine sounds gave me "kippevel" (goose bumps).

A few years later we went to an airshow and this same bird made it's appearance. It was my first experience stepping in to an actual D-3.
Pictures taken that day were lost in a house fire several years later, so all I have left are my memories.

Okay I am off to take a flight to memory lane, just can't wait

Huub,

I can not thank you enough for making this livery available.

 

[Alky]

If Everts Air Cargo Had DC-3's....

....what would they look like?
I know most of you here are real world livery aficionado's but I couldn't resist a little playful messing around in the paint kit and came up with this one.

Thank you very much for this tip!

Great repaint hope release is soon. My hanger doors are open. I fly Alaska most of the time this repaint is outstanding work.

....what would they look like?

Triflyman thanks a million.

[Jafo]

Left side is 'done' other than tiny bits.....the correct model won't have the whiskers...but ideally wouldn't have that vent slicing through the roo's legs....but then it's actually more 'DC-3' than 'C-47' by this vintage.
Right side will be a pain....and there's one graphic I have no idea what it is...

I wasn't planning on uploading it since it was a fictional, but I ended up deciding to anyway, so it will appear in the library when it appears

 

[Duckie]

Thanks, Joe. specially looking forward to the NACA bird. Off to DL now.

[Aharon]

Please forgive me for asking such question that all of you will probably find stupid and sneer on this. I am TOTALLY NEW to this new version 3 excitement.

My question is that are liveries from C-47 version 2 and DC-3 version 2 interexchangable and compatible with C-47 version 3 and DC-3 version 3, please?

Thanks,

Aharon

 

[ian elliot]

Not such a stupid question, ive found about 90% are, occasionally, ive found a few problems around the glare panel just in front of the cockpit window, but im handy enough with PSP to fix things, try a few and see if they work

cheers ian

 

[Jafo]

Turning out to be a darn hard paint.....slow and painful.
More hand-drawn fonts....and still issues with size/spacing/layout.

Might even have to force perspective towards the rear where the fuse gets thinner.

Edit.....there "is this rule" about graphic design and font choices....never use more than 3....

I'm losing count on this plane....and at least 2 more to come...

 

[BendyFlyer]

Keep up the good work Jafo, this is one of my favourites and I have been using the V2 paint on this version with the grey/blue VC available as that seemed to be the cockpit interior colours for TAA in the 1960's. I don't suppose you would like to try your hand at the Sunbird version or just the plain non anniversary paint as well? Your trials doing this are appreciated. I don't think the rules of graphic design were of importance then, they must have been a bugger to paint in real life as well.

 

[BendyFlyer]

Jafo not sure if these are of interest or help but they are the TAA colour photos I have, some are proper DC-3s some are C-47 conversions.

This is one of the few right side photos but unfortunately B&W

This is the only one I have of AEQ
