• 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.

Great model so far. Looks nice and clean modeling wise. The polygons on the tires looks amazingly excessive though! I would think a normal map would be better suited then extrude/bevel every face.
 
And the bar goes up once more... Awesome looking plane.. I'm gonna have to wait to see what it does to the frame rates on my beast before i form a real opinion though...
 
Hello. Yes it is the Just Flight DC3/C47. Pretty good model. Actually when I said real close, I was refering to how close the prop tip is to the fuselage. Real close.
 
Aaaaaaaaa! That explains it! Sorry, I thought you were showing off a new product in production. My bad! That prop is really close! I know the PBY Catalina had a steel plate near the prop arc to protect the crew from ice getting flung off the blade!

It looks like there should be a good 6" from the tip according to the pix.

If your flying around the Netherlands, a 1000 foot ceiling is probably not much of a limitation! :running:

The highest hill (although we actually call it a mountain) is 1056ft in height. I live 4 ft below main sea level, at less than 2 kilometers (1.3 miles) from the coastline. Our main airport (EHAM) is located even 11 ft below main sea level.

So there is plenty room above the Netherlands to test the JF DC3 ;)

Cheers,
Huub
