HC-97G / EC-97G Stratofreighters uploaded!

These two are included in a general update (C-97 Update 2) available here at SOH, soon.

Edit, up now: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=1&id=19829

EC-97 repainters, please note that the white patch for the two blade aerials is on C97_01 just next to the cockpit windows. And there is an extra black patch for the belly pod on texture C97_03.

Hope I've put in everything needed...

FSX Boeing C-97G / EC-97G / HC-97G Stratofreighters and KC-97G Stratotanker update. Previous installation of basepack "FSX Boeing C-97 V.1 Beta" required for Ted Wolfgang's soundset. This update adds the EC-97G and HC-97G Freighter models and modifies the (K)C-97G models to be able to use a GPU cart and a fire extinguisher bottle. Various issues have been addressed and some minor corrections are included as options.

Awesome and thanks a zillion for your wonderful volunteer work!!

I notice the word Rescue on the tail of the plane on top of your screenshot. Where did this plane carry out rescue missions or do rescue patrols?

Regards,

I am not the youngest of folks any more, but still too young to have seen these in real life.

Still, I am having a blast flying these monsters.

Thanks to Manfred and his team for providing these magnificent aircraft to the flight simulator community.

Happy flying,

Manfredc3 (No, not that one :biggrin-new:)
 
Many thanks indeed, Manfred, for these beautiful additions to an outstanding package. Very well done, indeed!
 
Thanks Manfred. :encouragement:

One question, was the ground start cart and fire bottle suppose to be included with update 2 or is that still a WIP?

See "GPU" at the bottom of the monitor panel. Middle button to show, left or right for on/off.

I found it, thanks. I forgot to "update" the panel folder which had the extra goodies on the monitor (SHIFT + 4) menu. :encouragement:
Thank you Manfred :)

Many thanks Manfred. Excellent work. One thing though, after this most recent update I seem to have lost some clickspots on the monitor panel (help, speed placard, lower right blue buttons). Thought I followed all instructions but perhaps not. Before I reinstall everything from scratch just thought I'd check to see if there's a quick fix for this. Any tips would be appreciated. I noticed
the 'help' window has not been included in the most recent panel.cfg. Used to be Window02 in prior releases I believe.

The 305th ARRS (Air Rescue and Recovery Squadron) initially was based at Selfridge AFB, Mi. The HC-97 replaced the earlier SA-16 Albatross, it is presently assigned to
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Az, 1 October 1993 – present[SUP][/SUP]
 
From repainters side, all is fine. First i had problems with new top antennas on EC-97G, but I solved it (I didn´t know how). The new chin radar is on C97_3.dds (left down side). Thank you Strat-Team for great update.
