Manfred's Douglas C-47 Reloaded (Beta)

Hey guys... I have latest mdl updates received today from Manfred for both the C-117D and C-47. More improvements and code changes were done, so I will go in and make changes on my end. The team is grateful for your patience! TuFun

Interesting. I thought the Air America title was black or a very dark blue, as per my AAM994.zip at AVSIM and Flightsim.

Truth be told, I only found black & white pics, and a picture of the logo in this color (here), and since I thought all black looked so boring, I opted for this...
 
Elevator music idea....everyone post a photo of your most drool encrusted keyboard. We could post thread and hand out an award for the absolute worst. :)

What is patience? We are destroying our computer keyboards drooling over these shots while waiting for these to be released :).

You funny guy AussieMan! :icon_lol: The behind the scene stuff that goes on in creating FSX models is time consuming. I never knew how much until now!
This gives me a great appreciation for those who produce Flight Sim models! :salute:


The soundset is still evolving as gain more experience. Same with the startup effects! Little video for guys...

 
I know this is only a drop in the proverbial bucket.. but I hope our wonderful repainters will honor the men of the Vietnamese Airborne and Airborne Advisory Team 162 with a repaint or two.. I have no quality pics to contribute, although I know the Gooneybirds the VNAF operated that I have seen were bare metal or aluminum paint.. My wish is stirred by the passing of Gen James Vaught, who commanded Team 162 at one time.. God rest his soul. He was a hell of a soldier, and an unsurpassed leader of men.. My Dad was a member of Team 162 back in 1965 and again in 1967.. The C-47 featured in his recollections of their jumps... Nhay Du! :salute::medals::icon29::guinness::USA-flag:
 
A Google image search brings up some good shots of VNAF C-47's in various paint jobs, both aluminum paint and camo. Team 162 may have had their own dedicated aircraft, but... I'm more inclined to think they used standard VNAF transports for their jump training. Here at SOH we have several masters of aluminum and natural metal paint jobs, post some pics you like and I'm sure somebody will work up a VNAF paint for you. Some of the planes I saw had fuselage stripes and looked pretty sharp.
 
Newcomer in this forum... I noticed people here really like old birds, like me. :D

Found a link to this thread from avsim... I was kind of let down by all the payware dc-3s.. they look far inferior to the freeware dc-3 presented here.

So this is a brand new model you guys are making? I'm not up to date with earlier freeware dc-3 occurrences, so please accept my apologies. :mixedsmi:
