FSX Douglas C-117D Skytrooper

no, I did not try red & yellow, because I thought they were black & white. Is this colorblindness striking again?
The props are on C117_1.dds

Great shots of C-GGKG guys, thanks for posting.
G, I was planning some aussie C-47 paints for the C-117, but perhaps it will be better to wait? Piedmont looks great!

I might wait J...I don't know what all Manfred has planned for the re-release, but I know for sure the paint kit will be extensive. Everything is layered so lots of flexibility. The wing rivets and new bump maps will be there too. You will have a lot more to work with.

I think the wing rivets are developed enough for me to transfer them to the C-117. I'll re-work the PSD, make a new bump set and upload the mods.
The wing rivets look much, much better on the C-47. This mod will really improve the C-117...as if it's not great already.

I gotta admit...I like this airplane. For a freeware it really, really doesn't suck. lol

Color blind painter...that cracks me up.
 
Having a little bit of fun "G" with the Chuting Stars! Still tweaking FSX, so not as smooth just yet. Haven't create a profile for the aircraft so I'm just winging it for now. Sever crosswinds on landing with gust up to 25 knots. Oh, there's a mouse running on the wing, he won't be there long! :icon_lol:

These radials have the most serene idling sound. And I think I just fell in love with the cockpit.

I've been flying this great plane with all the incredible repaints for weeks. I am loving every bit of it. I looked at the initial zip file I have saved and realized that it's a "beta" file. So really, this version is a test flight? Can it, will it, is it going to get better?
 
My ticket,PPL reads ..SEL..No Multi ...I fly the Sim in planes I am used to flying..I have been in a DC-3 numerous times over the years.I know its a safe ,forgiving plane..It has all the mystic of The history of Aviation.One of the first planes I ever seen up close.My Dad took me to the then La Guardia in NYC,to see these American DC-3 Flag Ship Airlines...1938 or so.Been a lot of attempts to recreate this plane in the Sim world.A few are real good.But Now We have a REAL GOOD MODEL Been flying it now since it came out.Manfred Jahn's C-117D.may be the very best of all....I look at my hanger now,and it seems the C-117D is the only plane I enjoy flying.in my Walter Mitty World! I do not care what it looks like,tho all the paints are super,to date!I like it because it flys true,handles true,the almost real start up,...If .and only an IF ,I were to clean out those Hanger Queens. . The only three I would keep are The C-117D, a good CUB,and the Default Cessna C-172...THATS IT! What more could I want..I have been becoming a "HOARDER" on the Sim, Flying is the thing,not being a curator at a museum,...These three now bring me the most pleasure....I could fly them for ever......Just My Thoughts....Vin!<label for="rb_iconid_19">

That's the trouble with these young kids nowadays! They travel the world, but don't even know their own back-yard.

Just select your destination a bit closer! :icon_lol:
