Flight Replicas Douglas DC-4/C-54/Carvair Released

**flaviossa** · October 22nd, 2017, 10:53

Will get the dc4 for sure, but can i ask: is there any possible purchase package discount for people who buy both versions (fsx/p3d)?
I´m on the currency conversion problem too. If i buy both it will be too expensive. At least for now.

Finally a DC-4/C-54 that flies like the real thing. WOW!!!

Thank you, Flight Replica Team
Ted

Hope someone will do the " Independence " that was President Truman's version of Air Force One .

Very fortunate to only live about an hour and forty-five minutes east-southeast of the National Museum of the Air Force .

Rich, if you want to fly Truman´s "Independance" you have to buy PMDG DC-6. There is a nice VC-118 livery available.

Thomas

***Crusader*** · October 23rd, 2017, 10:29

Thanks Thomas , I'll have a look .

Rich

**mike_cyul** · October 23rd, 2017, 10:49

Just to let everyone know, the paint kits for the DC-4 and Carvair are now available on the Flight Replicas website.

You can find them here: http://www.flight-replicas.com/Downloads.htm

Great stuff, Mike. I might do a few repaints myself for the C-54!

Cheers,
Mark

**worknow** · October 23rd, 2017, 11:06

Looks like the days of Jens Dc-4 are over. I used it and loved it a lot but this package is awesome!
Ok, I am deaf now because of the engine sounds but that´s just fine...
Can´t wait for some nice repaints by Matt - a Buffalo maybe?
(P3Dv4 version works under FSX Se too.)
Cheers, Marc

Truman's VC-54 was the "Sacred Cow." Always loved that name!

***jankees*** · October 23rd, 2017, 13:11

Here's my first attempt at using the paintkit:

I still need to find a few bits and pieces, but overall very nice, thanks, Mike!

Sorry , stand corrected . When you get my age things like this start happening on a regular basis . Need to get back to the Museum of the Air Force . They opened a new hanger last year that now houses all of the Presidential aircraft . Before they were across the field on part of Wright Patterson AFB . You're right , " Sacred Cow " is quite the name .

you wouldn't have any wireframe maps? I'm having a hard time with the ailerons. Other than that, it is nicely laid out, not too many problems.

of course, I could also make the triangles smaller so they don't touch the ailerons...

***icycle*** · October 23rd, 2017, 14:07

Looks fantastic thus far. A lot of potential subjects here as virtually every post-WW2 airline had DC-4's/C-54's on their books at some point.
As always, enjoy all the efforts put in.

Bill

***Roger*** · October 23rd, 2017, 14:13

Really enjoying this aircraft

You should find the wireframe maps as the very bottom-most layer of the principle wing texture (eg. NS_Wing_L.psd)

Roosevelt´s and Truman´s VC-54C, 272752, build 1946. A special C-54, nicknamed the Sacred Cow, became the first presidential aircraft. With high polish textures. Created without repaintkit. WIP.

I found the wire frame at the bottom of the list. It is called "Background". In order for it to show you must untick the dark grey box directly above it.
