Attention all DC-3 fans !

Might I ask what program you are using to do the modeling?It is absolutely amazing! Regarding the bolt installation issue, I have a lot of maintenance experience on douglas products and it all boils down to serial numbers of the aircraft. I'll bet that early on the bolts where installed head up as is normally done. However somewhere later in production a change was incorporated to fix a problem and the bolts were then reversed.
 
Jan, you make me proud ;-)
Wonderfull job.
I like this view best!

I'm using 3dsMax, John. Unimaginably big fun because i come all the way from the 1989 rudimentary 'MS A&SD' (Aircraft & Scenery Designer, 500 poly limit... ), BAO's AAF ( Aircraft and Adventure Factory) and Flightshop, the great Louis Sinclair's FSDS (Flight Simulator Design Studio) who finally transposed FS aircraft design from hell to heaven :)teapot:), and finally Gmax, the clever little son of 3dsMax that came with no questions nore money asked with a number of later FS versions.

For a long time Gmax was still needed to export 3dsMax aircraft models so they could be used in FS but with recent versions this seems no longer needed ( haven't done any exporting of the VVC yet, i will need the updated version of the P3D SDK which includes a modernised exporter )

Cheers,
Jan
 
This is one of the planes I have always dreamed of flying!

A vintage VC for the Manfred Jahn release recently is a wonderful gift. Thank you...

Can't wait to see how it turns out in the aircraft!

I would like to suggest that the new VVC be released as part of a complete package that includes Manfred Jahn's C-47 and TuFun's sound pack.
A complete package would be easier to download in the future if it needed to be, instead of the three separate installations.

Or release the VVC separate, but still do a complete package also.
Thanks to everyone involved with this project.

Great idea. It would get such great work out to a bigger audience.
 
I also think it's a great idea because it was quite confusing on release.. one package to rule them all. :mixed-smiley-010:
 
I loved this VC, but I feel more comfortable flying with GPS in the cockpit (modernized one)
I would stick with the 2 versions without lose my favorite

Jan-

I have been a long time fan and want to echo the sentiments of those who are tremendously impressed! As an inveterate Dakota aficionado- I am looking forward to this release more than you can imagine. I did want to ask if there has been any FS modeling work (that you know of) done in Google Sketchup? I have started using this program and am consistently amazed by what it does in relation to the AutoCAD family- at a hugely lower price point. It is being used by more architectural and engineering professionals each year... and I just wondered if it had made inroads into the FS community?

Again- THANK-YOU FOR YOUR STELLAR WORK SIR!

Best- Carl Avari-Cooper

Me too. I would like to have both versions side by side without problems or too much problem solving.

BTW, great work and highly appreciated (like the work of Manfred Jahn)!
 
Actually an option for integration of the Mindstar G530/430 would be the bee's knees, as an alternative option to the 100% vintage panel.
But hey, let's not get carried away here... :)
