Douglas C-47 v3 Livery Thread

TeiscoDelRay,

That is awesome livery for C-47!!! In case you are not aware, Chicago and Southern operated Connie service between Chicago and Caribbean destinations with of course many refueling stops! One of their Connies was christened the name Kingston after Jamaica's capital to demonstrate service to Caribbean from Chicago.

Regards,

Aharon

Thanks, I am really interested in CS and later Delta CS operations and hope to find a proper vintage Memphis or Chicago airport they used to start from.

I also did the Delta CS (Delta for a short time merged the Chicago Southern line and used their logo) for the Connie and it is also available here at SOH library (search for exact phrase "Delta CS")

 
C&S also flew the Lockheed 10-B. I posted a paint request on the FSX forum for the Lockheed L-10B.

Hi @triflyman,

The army green is the V3.12 VC repaint available here : http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=34&linkid=21645

The black VC is gman's masterpiece offered as part of this download here at SOH : http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforu...ouglas-C-47-V3-RAF374-with-Black-Interior-zip

Still working on it i'm afraid, turns out about just as much work as creating the vvc itself... :icon_eek: Mainly due to an FSX bug that prevents the use of ambient vclighting with bumpmaps. Throw away the bumpmaps ? I don't think so. All in all it's not an overnightlighted job so to speak. Certainly not finished yet but there's deffinately some light at the end of tunnel.

Just keep your fingers crossed that it's done before A2A's Connie lands on my doormat.. ;-)

Cheers,
