[Barvan40]

[Lewis-A2A]

Oh, nice skin on this Lisunov More here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=14816

Where did you find this repaint, Barvan ?

 

[pbearsailor]

It's nicely done.

Called a "Commercial Demo" on the upload at AVSIM. Aren't there going to be issues with MS by trying to mod the DC-3 from the SDK and then try to sell it as payware?

cheers,

It was included along with another repaint, maybe unintended, in the demo package I found here:

They can have problems. There is already a modded version of the FSX SDK DC-3 which is availble on Avsim, where the authors changed the textures and did a lot of 3d modifications. But this was agreed with the Aces, I believe.
Another example. A SOH member, Empeck, relased fsx native model for the Curtiss Jenny which he converted using the model from the FS2004 SDK. Again, it was discussed with Paul Lange, member of the Aces at that time.

Edit: Thanks for the info. The "demo" version which I got from the Flightsim.com has only one, "demo" scheme.

I would think that could be a problem. But this "demo" version seems to work just fine as is.

I found the extra paint schemes in the demo version texture folder. Copied and renamed them and also copied the texture.cfg to their own texture folders and created my own specular maps to avoid that weird rainbow effect you see on the demo scheme.
