From the looks of the screenshot you may want to add BannaBob's globalEnvTest.
She will look more polished with this installed.

I have been searching for the GlobalEnvTest files, and only found a link at FlyAwaySim. That download only provides a htm file though.
Any suggestions where these chrome shine files can be found?

Search for alternate_globalenvtest.zip at Avsim, should pop right up.

Dave. I sent a reply on Aug 9th. According to my messages box on here, it hasn't been opened. However, I've sent you another PM today.

Den.
 
Great work Jafo. Installed all of them from your recent Au batch and it is difficult to choose a favorite; they're all so well done.

The number of C47 paints are getting out of control in my sim but keep 'em comin'!

Time to do some down under mail runs.
 
Jafo, very nicely done, all. I particularly like your metal finish on these birds, just the right balance of polish and wear. Thank you, sir.

Steve
 
This one's about done. Just a tweak or 2 needed discovered on the last photo run and the docs.

Huge Thank you and a request

First of all a huge thank you to all the people involved in the making and painting of the C-47, truly a masterpiece of a freeware addon. I have no idea how you chaps do what you do but thanks again :applause::applause:

Now a request, I recently bought the Classic Cockpits DC-3 DVD featuring a DC-3 from
Dakota National Air​

A huge thank you

of course to the team that made this latest c-47 version available to the community, but also to all of you talentuous repainters, for the paintkit, and all the liveries that have already been released, or are on their way to coming release, or still to come!
We are actually at the very right place where freeware shows which quality level can be achieved!
Blue skies to all
