Heck, the little rascal must've flown away... (new computer, normal procedures not up to scratch yet..;-)

Just wanted to advice Chief to maybe settle for this during waiting :

Sooo... in the meantime, I've been investigating liveries. One thing I'd like to do is replace all those silly ASXXXX N-numbers to more realistic ones. I figure for those planes that no one has developed liveries for, I can just create a liveries directory in Community, copy the appropriate files over find the aircraft.cfg and edit it appropriately and...But I'm noticing the Asobo planes don't have an aircraft.cfg file like the livery files I've downloaded do. Not even in a split up form as far as I can tell. But do they and I just can't find them?How are people building these aircraft.cfg files? Where are they if they exist?Editing existing ones to my liking is easy, but nobody has created liveries for the SR22 for instance, where is its aircraft.cfg file?Thanks,Tom

You can change the reg in the loading screen, it's set dynamically.It can also be set through simconnect (FSEconomy does this for you :) )Sadly the cfg files for DEluxe and Premium aircraft are encrypted and can't be viewed or changed, but the standard edition ones canCheersKeith

And sure, this doesn't look too shabby at all. But does this hangar scene provide some sort of extra fancy treatment of the external textures ? Can you taxi out without losing these reflections and shine ?...

Yep, here some outsideshots.

Here's hoping that we can work together to get an updated C-47 working in MSFS in all her glory. She NEEDS to be in this new sim.

I have all of her flight model data in the new format and we now need:
* 3D Asset transferred to native format
* Sound updated to new format in WWise
* Custom DLLs redone in new format.

Found this video of Manfred's C-47...


Might add that guys over at Discord are doing a bang-up job on the C-47. They love her because she has a soul and better than a lot of payware aircraft.

Oh I didn't see this post before. What's your name on the Discord?

I thought I would pop in Discord to see what's up... "TuFun". Was an alpha/beta tester for MSFS. Will jump on retail sometime after the Nvidia 3080 release.

So, for now, I'm sitting back watching the excitment!

Ahhh, that makes sense... well, that makes sense why I couldn't find them. It doesn't make sense, however, to do what they did in that regard.
It's a major pain in the ass to have to change them every time I start the game. Stupid, in fact, to set it up that way.
I'll check out the simconnect work around. Thanks
 
I did a couple tests with Jahn's C-47 and C-117D.

The C-47 worked fairly well for me, however since the autopilot in the VC in inop and the popup 2D panels don't work I can't use the Control Panel to set the autopilot and no GPS to navigate its going to be hard to use. And like many of the tail draggers I have tested it went nose over when I tried to stop it.

None of the gauges in the C-117D worked as you can see.

One thing I did noticed, when you start then you need to give them some gas right after loading or the engines will stall, and if you press Ctrl-E to restart them, CTD.

"No GPS Hard to navigate".... :)

Sorry, couldn't resist :)

You're doing some inspiring work, btw. I'm contemplating trying as well, but I'm afraid how many hours I'll end up putting into it with little gain. The Super Stearman looks promising however, that's on my short list of planes I want.

I admit I a bit of a slacker when it comes to navigation. In FSX/P3D one of my favorite aircraft to fly was Jahn's C-47 with the Modern VC, the right blend of old aircraft with modern navigation for me.

Make sure you remove all DLL and GAU files from the panel folder. That stops the CTD.

Well hopefully we can get a native C-47 for us all to do some group flights in :D

Make that two of us!!!

If you guys won't post these things, I guess I will need to learn how to do it myself. :sleeping: Dreams of flying the Marchetti again.

Looks like somebody posted the Manfred's C-47 for download. You probably know the site.

Yup and none of the radios will work LOL. I genuinely understand their enthusiasm, but port-overs are so mostly broken!

Until we get the native version done.
:fingerscrossed:

Yup! Just removed the posting of it over at the "other" site. It's not fair to Manfred, Milton, and the other great developers.:encouragement:
