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...! :cool:
 
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...:engel016:
 
You must be a happy man, Barry ! :applause:

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 ! :ernaehrung004:

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...):engel016:
