Just Flight DC6B

And here's the AOA Connie from the same angle. Not bad as a screen shot queen.

Gonna go get me some paints......


Goodness the DC6 is a beast! She flies like a wet dog on laxatives. It's wonderful....you feel like you actually have to pick the thing up!

Just got this thanks to Just Flight's two-for-one airliner sale. (Picked up the Comet too, since I've had the Connie for a while now.)

What two-for-one airliner sale. Can't see it advertised at their website. Have I missed it?

This is a great aircraft addon. I really like it.

Got problem updating though... When I try to install the (correct) SP1 patch, it fails, stating my key code is incorrect;-(

I have emailed them - just wondering if anyone else has this?

The Red Bull skin is quite nice, but there appears to be a missing texture under the aircraft, near the wing. Still real purdy.

This may be the reason for the missing texture.Worth a shot?

• Parts of the aircraft are missing/transparent/not appearing correctly


Please install Flight Simulator X Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2. Both service packs are available here: http://www.justflight.com/supportfaq/flight-simulator-x#Update1

Sorry, I think so....it was a 72 hour deal from Just Flight. 2fur 33 bucks U.S.

I guess I have to go look up SP1 now though....see if I can recreate dougal95's problem.

Add Squeaking Brakes to the JF DC-6

If you want to add a brake squeal effect to any or all of the JustFlight DC-6 liveries I've attached a link to a file that will provide the effect:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/6r6eun2etd3zrzs/FSXSqueaking_brakes.zip
(read the installation readme carefully)


Also, I have been trying a lot of different R2800 sounds for this aircraft and IMHO this one is the best yet:

http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=29931768&page=3


I find that all the liveries contain their own sounds (a waste of space if you ask me) so if you just alias all the sound.cfg's to just the one sound livery where you have this main sound installed
(for me it was the Military section) that would shed some space.

Toodles

 

[Naismith]

Thanks for the squeaks.

 

[Anthin]

Thank you Martyn.

Discovered some switches

All the while I have been flying the JF DC-6 I didn't know that there were some goodies available

I now know how to activate the Ground Vehicle (the vehicle you get depends on the livery you fly with.)

And....After reading the manual I discovered how to activate the chocks/engine covers

This is way cool.

 

[Anthin]

Any chance of some kind soul could do a Buffalo repaint for the freighter ?

Thanks!

I have the DC6/b and will certainly have a go with that soundpack........after I'm done with the London to Melbourne race. Cause just for that race I modified my FSX setup, and don't want to mess that up.

Thanks, Ted. I tried a few from flightsim and avsim and this one also. Certainly not bad but not as good as the one i used to have for DC-6 last year. That's the problem, i can't find it anymore. Can't remember the dev name but it wasn't Des Braban. Wasn't specifically for the DC-6, just a generic 4 engine prop sound but it was very good. Just bought a DC-6 soundset from Skysong which is quite wonderful, best so far IMHO. I was actually thinking about you, Ted....

R-2800 Sounds V2

Apparently there is a V2 of R-2800 by same author. Don't know what the diff is......or if there is a dimes worth of difference from the other version.

I think on link below it states...... much improved start up sounds.

Hey Jan does Skysong use sound cones? With sound cones you create some really discrete sound angles like the loud prop buzz as it passes by.

 

[gray eagle]

Apparently my post above ^ the Version 2 is the latest and greatest

here is excerpt from his readme

VERSION 2 CHANGES

1. Improved startup sounds. Many files renamed so they all use the same naming format.

IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED VERSION 1 PLEASE DELETE THE FS/Aircraft/PropSound DC-6 R-2800 FOLDER BEFORE INSTALLING THIS VERSION. You will waste a lot of hard disk space if you don't.

Again the link

Click on above and it takes it to avsim site and the V2 file

BTW Ted, maybe you can work on the "cones" on this one eh?

Sound cones for JF DC6

Ted,

I sent you a PM with new sound.cfg file


Edit: I haven't heard from you (yet), but what I sent you, was not a very good rendition of the cone effect.

 

[Navy Chief]

I took Gray Eagles tip about the suggested sound file. After figuring out what I had done incorrectly (changing name of sound folder) the Pratt & Whitney sounds are incredible! Thanks! NC
