FS2004 Screenshots Here!!!

Hmmm... I didn't think CalClassics had a military variant of the 377. I didn't see one on their website anyhow. :dizzy:

Paint kit for GMAX B377 by Greg Pepper (13MB) or as modified by Dave McQueen (8.5 MB). Contains layered PSD files (usable in both Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro) which allow you to place your paint scheme between the bare metal layers and the windows and doors. Makes for fast painting! Greg's is based on a KC-97, Dave's is true bare metal with a layer for each type of airline window arrangement. Note: there are no instructions in the files; follow the detailed instructions in my PSP Repainting Tutorial. Exhaust flames and Startup flames/smoke Package by Wayne Tudor available! Not needed for the UAL Base Pack or Update Pack.
KC-97E and KC-97G flight model updates. KC-97E, KC-97G, and C-97 MDL updates. (Use Update Pack below for the latest B377 MDL and flight model files).
The Update Pack also includes flight dynamics for American Overseas and RANSA versions. Last updated on 6/21/13.
Click on the image to download the plane. Download the Base Pack to get the panel and sounds, then the Update Pack above for the other models. Then use the textures from the files below the Base Pack.


In the update pack readme:

Hey Pete --

I got it. The last time I had visited CalClassics was to obtain the Lockheed L1649 Starliner, a plane which is still flown to this day, after being installed some 3 years ago. SO it's been a while since I was over at that site. I grabbed all of the parts for the C-97 and KC-97 versions as well as the UAL Boeing 377 and the update pack.

Thanks for the detailed information tho. Much appreciated. Hell, I'm flying the Super G and the Starliner in MATS livery, why not a 377 as well?

I've been flying the CalClassic C-46 a lot lately and decided I needed something a bit different in the way paint schemes.... one thing led to another and the next thing I knew, I had opened a C-46 paint shop in a nearby hanger. Most of the "real" civil paint schemes for the C-46 have already been done and unless I really don't like the existing paint, I won't redo it. So, some "what if" paints for it:

First I did a Southern Airways paint from the '60s


Then I moved on to the railroad (Santa Fe did have a short lived air freight operation in the late 40s)


And the latest one I've completed, Western


There's some more in the hanger being worked on including a couple of "real" paints that somehow got missed by the real repaint guys. A Mohawk Gas Light Service is near completion (after a major disaster with it this morning and a total rework on the fuselage). Plus a few more that have been started.

The paint was still a little tacky, so I took it up for a quick blow dry. Mohawk took their last two DC-3s and painted them in this scheme with special service (free beer, cheese, pretzels & 5 cent cigars) and dressed the stewardesses up in 1890s costume. I think it looks quite good on a "Whale".


Darn attachments weren't acting right, so I deleted the post and redid it.

Still acting up... trying again.. (Where's an Admin when you need one?)

Got it about as good as I think I will...

I think I'm going to revisit that '60s Southern Airways. I'm not too happy with it. (Also have a 1950 Southern Airways paint in the pipeline too)
