• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

June 6, 2024 i.e. C-47/CG-4A

There is an excellent freeware D-day scenery by Jeppesen2001 available at TwoToneMurphy's site
You have to register but it's worth it :)
 
Wow, thanks! Hadn't seen that site before and along with some cool files, looks like they have a fun flying community! Registered and will be checking it out in more detail.
 
Thanks for the D-Day scenery link - I see preset weather when loading Normandy but not sure what else is there?
For a change, everything worked as advertised: the C-47 manfully hauled the Waco to a fair altitude



then waggled its wings, and I was able to find the cable release (Above your head!) Wheels were disposed of, click-spot sort of just down from there.



We actually visited Normandy at the end of May, and this had a profound effect on me, I had not fully appreciated the scale of the 1944 operation. I have spent countless hours reading online, Youtube, even watched Saving Private Ryan again.
The mind simply boggles.



Above is over the D-Day landing beaches.

If the D-day scenery is active you will know it, you will hear it before you see it. And you will see it even at night...
Not historically accurate but well worth persevering with. From memory it's Utah beach.
