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.

Holy crap that heat staining behind the cowl flaps looks good.... absolutely spot on!
Why would it? it's a real airplane... Though personally I wouldn't offer up one as the MAAM one is for a very worth charity. Another similar (but different) NATS bird, yeah, but not that one.... That's just me though...
Any word on sharing those bump maps etc? I've got some DCA and EIN paints here just begging for them!

All of the bumps, alphas (3 variants), specs, weathering, oil and heat staining, rivet rust and paint chips I've created for the DAK are there for you in the layered PSD paint kit that will come with the release. I've set up the layers in PS to be fully adjustable so you can apply the effects at what ever strength you wish.
For those who don't have Photoshop or the means to do the conversion, the basic texture file has the bumps, alphas, spec layers and GlobalEnv files as you see them in the TF screenshots. Those are a turn key deal...no work. To update the old MJ DAK youcan copy and paste into the base texture folder to upgrade to the new look. Install instructions will be comprehensive.
These will work retroactive on MJ's previous C-47 also.
We're working on the last of the pre-release tweaks now that MJ is back at the computer.
Won't be long.

Navy R4D
I haven't seen any reply from the more "highly motivated" painters here - I may take this one on myself
I had posted just two or three clicks up the idea of making an R4D like this one - look familliar?
And while were are at it how about an interior:
This could be yet another one TUFUN could stack
O wait a minute, he has me on his ignore list - I forgot
But anyway I figure Razbam and Virtavia have a few A4's in the same paint schemes and so far no fur flying.
Case in point Lady Jesse has been done by both outfits. Different Buno's.

Took a stroll thru the largest collection of Daks in the virtual world... snapping pics with my virtual SweetFX camera!
Isn't that special.

I realize there is a new version of the C-47 in the oven with it's own VC and awesome painkit, but is there an existing paintkit available? I tried overlaying a C-47 fuselage texture on the C-117D but they're not the same so obviously I can't use the C-117D's paintkit.
I find it extremely difficult to find anything on this site and I've searched AVSIM. Could someone point me at the "current" paintkit for the C-47? Thanx! :mixedsmi:

The paintkit is available at flightsim.com. Just search for the file C-47paintkit.zip.

I'll bump everyone here with direct links when the DAK is released. It's just around the corner so hold in the pattern a bit longer...

Gman: Are you quoting from that old chestnut of a movie?
I can't . . . quite . . . recall the actor's name, but I remember that "binoculars" were involved.
Do I get a prize? Huh? Do I?
