sounds a good idea... do we need a repaint of a plane for this usage? like a huge flying oktoberfest machine bringing beer and bratwurst? paintkit is progressing, working on the clamshell nose doors...

Hi,
Just checked the airplanes chart of a FS2004 install from 2007 on a different hard disk and the Gigant from Lionheart is in.
Will check for the original Valkyrie CD or downloaded files (not remember what type of)
Can be this one indeed.

They are wild planes. Yep, I did one in the Valkyrie package.
If you ever see the documentary on Discovery of the 300 series, from glider to powered transport, watch it! Its brilliant.
The troop transporter had two levels for soldiers to sit in, and then the command deck or command cabin on the very top. By the way, a ladder to the top command pod got you up there. Within that area, you had the pilot, co-pilot, then an engineer in each wing root (each side, sitting back inside the wing) in these little cubicles that had tons of levers and gauges for monitoring the 6 engines. Each engineer watched his set of 3 engines. The Engineers also had a neat little window hatch in the top front of the wing so they could look out during flight, and also get out on the wing when they had landed.
A famous story; a unused 323 Gigant wing spar (massive structure) was used as a bridge in a small village over a river, and still stands today if I am correct.
Now.... for the imagination. Imagine such power of those 6 engines, bolted to a gigantic glider the size of a small zeppelin, and take off with 'zero' payload and say half fuel. That would be a wild ride, lolol....
EDIT: On mine, its not the greatest. I had made several versions for AI traffic in WWII Germany and ended up giving it a VC and it became a functioning plane and included on the missions lists.

Hi,
The Valkyrie Gigant (Empty model) and a Kubelwagen (from the same package)

Yeah, that was a nice one Bill!

Hi Bill,
the 'small river' was the not so small Danube near Günzburg, where the plane was built (at Leipheim, actually). It was used as a pedestrian bridge and I think it was during the '90s when someone found out what that structure actually was. I think the aspar is now at the Berlin-Gatow museum. I am not absolutely sure about the details, though, so this has to be taken with a bit of caution.
Best regards,
Volker

Hello there,
That is true about its current location judging by this photo.It looks like a bridge!

Is there an alternative prop texture for this one?
