Update Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.14 feedback and support topic

Thank you for that update, Manfred.

Could one of you please post a list of the packages in the order they are supposed to be installed?
Thank you again.
 
That link is a single complete install, no additional package needed. Except maybe for the P3D parachutist effect tweak that was published here a while ago...

You are missing 'metal.dds' and 'markerlts.dds' from the latest C-47 package ( Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.1405.zip ). Looks like you're missing the texture for the armrests as well ( vvc2bump.dds ). Don't forget to add the corresponding night textures as well ( ... _LM.dds or ... _L.dds ). There might be more textures missing.... You're using a VVC texture repaint set that fits the earlier VVC version, not the latest one...

cheers,

Hi
Just wondering if anyone has got this to work with all the cockpit sounds in P3D v4?
Mine works and the engine has sound however there is no switch sounds etc.
Thanks in advance if you can help.

Doug Dawson's sound gauge needs to be updated to 64 bit, so until then no sounds.
 
Suggestion for the Checklists

Just finished my first several night flights (great cockpit lighting) and would like to suggest a modification to the checklist as follows:

Before Taxi Checklist - Add Landing Lights AS NEEDED
After Landing Checklist - Change Landing Lights to AS NEEDED
Shut Down - Add Landing Lights OFF

The way there are they make you have no way to see when your taxing at night.

Thanks,
 
Is there supposed to be passenger cabin lights that can be seen from external view at night (in the cabin windows)? If so I don't have them and if not would like to add that to request list.

Thanks,
 
Hello,
Yes but it's not very easy to see.

Strange ... an updated file containing the full package including the V 3.14 fixes, called V3.1406 (check version number in Shift-4 Monitor), should be available ... but for some reason I can't find it either here or at Flightsim? So, ftb, you may try downloading from here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zj862ztqrar7tx5/Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.1406.zip?dl=0

That said, Nancy does seem to be very elusive on my new P3D setup. We'll have to ask Daniel, perhaps he can tweak her back into action.

Manfred,
Just downloaded package from the dropbox link, and installed. Shift-4 Monitor however still reports VC 3.1405 at my side...

Doug Dawson's sound gauge is ready and now our C-47 is flying in 64 bit. One possible issue: I can't change the fuel, pax and cargo payloads from the panel, but only through the p3d menu.

Where do these updated textures exist? I just downloaded V3.1406 and looked in the "texture" file and I don't have these files. I also looked in 1405 and didn't see them.

Hello,
The aircraft model also uses a couple more of Doug's gauges which are not yet 64 bit.
If and when he updates them, that function will be restored.
 
Hello! I see this files in the panel folder:
Douglas_C47.dll
dsd_fsx_fuel_dump.dll

This two flies need to be converted to 64bits too, correct?
 
Thanks Ncooper, it seems flying very well, I'll just continue changing the payloads using the prd panel until the other dlls will be ready.

Flavio you have to change this "C47_dsd_fsx_xml_sound.gau" with the Dawson's 64 bit file

Gooneybird, verify you have installed from file Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.1406.zip, and to make double sure have a look at file panel\C47\Main.xml, where there should be a line defining the version number as

<Macro Name="VVC_version">3.1406</Macro>

If you have that line, Monitor should show that value (if you are flying a plane from that folder). Better also make sure you don't have different versions installed, as we have been using the same planes for all updates.

Best,
Manfred

You should find them inside 'Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.1405.zip' (not in '.....V3.1406.zip' ). In addition, the exact names are: markerlts_L.dds, markerlts_L_O.dds, metal.dds, metal_LM.dds, vvc_2bump.dds, vvc_2bump_bump.dds, vvc_2bump_spec.dds.

Copy them from V3.1405.zip and paste (overwrite) them in the main texture folder of your C-47 v3.14 installation. ( only needed if you don't use the original VVC texture set that comes with 'Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.1405.zip' )

cheers,
jan
 
Where does one find Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.1406.zip? I have five but for the life of me, I can't find 1406.

Yes...that I saw while on the ground, loading passenger,s with the passenger door open.
Specifically, though, I am referring to seeing passenger cabin lights through the passenger windows as you can see in the attached image of an AI aircraft in flight.

Thanks,
 
No, it will not look like that, thank goodness.

You might like to try this
