Vertigo Studios C47/DC3

[c87]

Not sure if this has been mentioned here but over at Vertigo's forum Dean mentioned that work has begun on the DC3/C47. On 7/9 he posted:
"Work has now started on the C47 / DC-3 we should have some dev screenshots for you in a couple of days."

I'll be looking forward to this one.

[Ian Warren]

I would be in the shop directly , Ideal choice , there are a couple off variants i would like to see , the primary is the LC-47 used by US Navy , snow shoes and the slightly longer nose to suit a radar .

And models that i would like to see...

AC-47

and a Ski version for the DC-3/C-47.

Really looking forward to this airplane with the quality you always do, Dean.

I lean towards the civilian side, so I'd love to see pre and post war airliner types (a sleeper?) and some post war freighters. Would sure be nice to see both vintage and more modern cockpits, too. I wish there were a way to do a radio range nav setup.

Thanks for doing this one.

cheers,
steve :wavey:

[Deano]

Dont worry on the cilvilian side of things. The DC3 was always on the books aswell.

I think that covers them all, well I hope so.

The B25 will have to wait a little longer.

Aint much more you could do with the thing. Lets see, a B-25. The only other thing that i could want is a Fire Fighting Variant of the C-47.

[Deano]

Do you have any photos available ?

[cheezyflier]

very interesting. that's one plane i'd enjoy the accusim treatment with, but hope there's a way to turn it off sometimes.

looks a little low to the ground though....

[Deano]

Hi there CF, there most certainly will be.

I know its WIP , but is that nose quite right ? Seems a bit longer and more bulbous than normal.

[Deano]

Currently discussing this with the team :-)

[Paul K]

Well done that man! ;)

[muletrain]

Looking forward to this...:applause:

[skyhawka4m]

sweet!!!!

[Ian Warren]

Replying to the nose shape from Paul , course this would be the variant were it would be required the LC-47 off VX-6 USN . Once these were retired , the US Navy donated the type, the one example ended up in the Ferrymead Museum in my home town Christchurch , Snow Shoes and all :)

dont forget the floats

[Paul K]

This is purely to illustrate my observations and keep it focused on the Vertigo WIP shot and some real noses. This is where I think the two diverge..

http://www.vertigostudios.co.uk/files/C47_pics/C-47_render1.jpg

Compare the length and somewhat bulbous shape above to the ones below.

Hope you don't mind all this, Deano.

[Ian Warren]

Off course the original is primary , other than 'operation high jump' 1947 most Antarctic or Canadian and northern sortie were flown with the longer radar nose , the EC-47P had again a very different nose but every other way was a standard DC-3 .

@ Cirrus , having turbo prop Dak,s have the problem with having a different sound pack and panel to suit a different set off gauges , that would be the problem .

YES! Please make a turbine varient!!!!

[fliger747]

Speaking of the turbine 3.... Harolds Air Service in Fairbabnks Alaska flew one back in the 80's. I saw this plane this Spring in Kabul, same paint job but with a chin mounted sensor turret.

Cheers: T

[Shylock]

Nice work Deano. Other then the MAAM DC-3/C-47 our sim has been lacking this aircraft for some time now.

[gera]

Congratulations on your great work, I would very much appreciate the " Basler Turbo Conversions, LLC" to top this wonderful aircraft...it will allow me to do several Mission where the venerable and noble DC3/47 will not be able to participate leaving many pilots without the pleasure of flying in some awesome pieces of sky around the planet....my thanks in advance since am sure you will comply with this urgent requirement of many who will eternally be in debt with you and your awesome talent......May the gods of high clouds, mountains and adventure be on your side always.......:greenbo:

[heywooood]

I can see where the noses diverge...one is Durante and one is Malden

I love that the old Master of the Skies is getting so much attention, but I can see why some members are quick to lament the fact that some types of planes get attention from several developers - while other significant types are left wanting.

It would be too much to ask for to have collaboration between the various third parties where a plane like the DC-3 is concerned (ie: sooo many variants of the basic type) when its the competition between them that improves the modeling and makes more artists seek the trade in the first place.

If I have to buy every DC-3 ever made for FSX to get all of the possibles represented - I'll DO it - even though there be some overlap.

Keep 'em coming boys - and we'll keep 'em flying

Hi,

Both the amphib and the turbine DC-3 would be much appreciated!. The cockpit of the turbo DC-3 looks as if it was completely refitted. You may not be able to tell me at this point, but will you model different auto pilots such Sperry A-3 for the 30's DC-3 and a Sperry A-12 for a civilian-ised C-47? I also hope differences in the cockpits will be modeled.:jump::jump:

One of the variants i requested is the float variant.

[Deano]

The floater is in :) the turbine is out :kilroy: however which release is still on the table as we have 4 variants for initial release at the moment to satisfy the Commercial and Military pilots.

Heres hoping you wont be to disappointed.

[Tim-HH]

Heres hoping you wont be to disappointed.

Disappointed? No way! It's a sacrilege to replace a wonderful radial engine with such an ordinary fuel to noise converter :violent: :icon_lol:

[Deano]

with a bit of luck we should have screenshots of the rear section for the C47 and radio station.
