Testing DC-3 exteriors and flight model

[bazzar]

Testing is under way for the exterior model and flight dynamics on the upcoming DC-3 release. A few in-sim shots.

 

[bazzar]

A couple more from first flight.

 

[Whitehawk]

Damn that looks good!

 

[jankees]

wow, very nice!

 

[DaveWG]

That looks stunning.

 

[Spook48]

i'll be a customer for that .

 

[Bomber_12th]

Looking exceptional, Baz!

 

[Boss86001]

Looking great in MSFS!

 

[Sundog]

Great, now show pics of the model. Yeah, it looks that good.

 

[DennyA]

Oh, this is going to get so much flight time from me.

 

[Alan_A]

Oh, that is a thing of beauty!

Your Dak, an Anushka and a Twin Otter, and my MSFS hangar will be pretty well complete.

Standing by.... eagerly... but patiently...!

 

[StormILM]

Can't wait to buy and fly her!

I’m continually amazed how this sim renders the models. The degree to which they look real is mind blowing IMO. This DC-3 looks absolutely amazing- an immediate buy for me.

Thanks all for the comments, much appreciated. It takes a bit more than just the sim engine to get things looking right. The learning curve for models, materials and textures is steep and full of boulders. Once in a while, in fact at nearly every "upgrade" a boulder will break loose and come tumbling down toward you at speed...

Shots of the VC soon...

 

[heywooood]

should look a peach with all that natural metal gleaming away in MSFS...

 

[Javis]

You must be a happy man, Barry !

Fantastic work on our beloved Dakota. A great tribute to one of the most iconic aeroplanes in the world. It looks absolutely mindblowing ! And in my fav livery (apart from KLM ;-) and all.
If this ain't Aeroplane Heaven i don't know what is !

Cheers,
Jan

Thanks Jan, she's just a little dear to our hearts too. I took my first commercial flight in a BEA DC-3 back 1966. I have never forgotten it. I'd do it again tomorrow. (If we could...)

 

[Brytskiva]

Yes ! It looks really nice
