40+36Eu= 76Eu ... ups .

I do not understand why this is not in the one, the differences between C-47 and DC-3 are not very big to do two packages I my opinion.

[YoYo]

1/ Cant find, does it use rain effect on glass?

We are planning on incorporating the A2A rain effects, if we can get them looking right in P3D.

2/ Will it be in PCAviator store also?

[YoYo]

Btw. They added now Bundle version: https://secure.simmarket.com/aeropla...e-p3d4.4.phtml .

Yes, rain effects are there and it will be available at PC Aviator.

What a wonderful aircraft! Picked it up right after breakfast this AM and am on the 3rd long haul flight of the day.

It's finally night time on this current leg, so it was time to check out some of the night lighting combos. This might be one of my favorite night cockpit environments in sim aircraft. It looks great!


One observation:
The switch for the Tail Light is a 3-way switch with "OFF" being the center position. When shutting down the cockpit, when you turn the Battery Switch OFF, it turns all the light switches to the down/OFF position. The issue is that when it does this it actually turns the Tail Light back on, putting it in the down/Dim position. The only way I've found to turn off the tail light and keep it off, is to leave the Battery Switch On.

Thanks so much for the effort put into this one. Well worth the wait.

So here is the reason why you need to wait until we actually announce it.


The bundle which is 60 euros is being uploaded right now. It is huge. We are in australia where the internet is slow and the beer is cold ! We have no control over the timing of simmarket's system. The smaller packages were released before the larger package because the smaller packages are smaller uploads as compared to the larger package which is a larger upload. I actually cant believe I had to write that.


Of course you do not understand the reason for 2 packages. You have jumped the gun quite a bit. There are further plans.


I wouldnt tell baz that the differences between the 2 are not very big. I had to hear about the wright engines with a right door had to be different for the wright engined left door which was different to the pratt engines cargo door which was different to the pratt engines pax which was different again to the pax + cargo door versions. The C47 has a different cockpit to the Dc-3 and the pax... blah blah blah. Sorry Baz you know we love you


So to anyone else. Can you please wait until we actually announce it. Literally in about 20 minutes time.

I do apologize for being eager to buy.
Is it possible that the version I bought (C-47) is also not the final version?

[bazzar]

No you're good to go Jan, it's just that SimMarket are much faster than the others and put it out there before we had time to get the announcement out. Thankyou for buying, I hope you enjoy them. A paintkit will follow soon along with livery packs ( not that you need those yourself!)

[Pere]

A real shame that it is not for versions less than 4.4, but it will be a good product without a doubt

[DaveWG]

The bundle which is 60 euros is being uploaded right now.

60 euros? I assume that's before tax as SimMarket has it up for 72.

[YoYo]

Yes, without VAT.

So...with one exception...I have been looking forward to this release more than any other. And every weekend, I hoped you would release it, and you didn't. When I woke up this morning (before I hoped online), I mused that at least the C-47/DC-3 hadn't been released, since SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) told me I needed to help her clean the house today. Then I got online. SH*&%!

Purchased and downloading....

****UPDATE: Downloaded and installed perfectly. WONDERFUL package, with one exception...the external light bloom is way overdone. After seeing pics others posted on here, I'm thinking the problem may lie in my graphics card driver or shaders, or something like that. But, my GOODNESS this thing feels good..has a perfect "heavy" feel to it.....Now off to clean the house!******

[jankees]

is the underside of the fuselage on this aircraft supposed to be green with grey stripes? Is it just me, or do others see this as well?

[YoYo]

Looks like no part of repaint layer on the tail underside of the fuselage.

From preview picture of this "7D" looks ok I suppose:

Ok, I checked your observation, looks like its correct, see this:



https://www.bravobravoaviation.com/e...saaf-1945.html


But on You screenshot looks like underside of the fuselage (back part) no grey colour (I havent this model yet, Im waiting for PCAviator), just green what is wrong, I suppose (and if it was painted green perhaps this repaint is after invasion so no any invasion strips on wings if this skin is from period after invasion like on this scheme):

C-47A, 42-100533, 80 TCS/436 TCG/9 AF, Melun, France / Membury, Berkshire, UK, 1945, 'Honey Bun III':




So according me:
1/ at invasion this 7D has all white/black strips
2/ after invasion all strips was painted including underside of the fuselage but those was visible (partially black/green)

[bazzar]

There were an awful lot of variations in paint on C-47s. We have gone with one for HoneybunIII that we liked from references. There is no "correct" theme, the liveries evolved over weeks and months. It is what it is. If people want something else, there will be a full paintkit made available when we release the livery packs for the DC-3.

with jankees and your posts, by all accounts, yes to the grey strips, however the faded black or dark green strips are missing IAW those images, however hes also pointed out that from the wings back to the invasion markings its green not grey and along with JKB's extensive post above, the engines cowls are also completely green

so I have to ask, if JKB is getting the paint scheme that hes pictured, it does not match the one in the AH images, there appears to be a number of distinct errors with that scheme

not being a stick in the mud, but 60 euros is 60 euros, these days its not chicken feed, one would like to ensure one is getting bang for buck in all departments

[YoYo]

So here's me hoping for an update, especially on those shadows, those I find really annoying.

Do You use non default shaders for P3Dv4?

[jankees]

Do You use non default shaders for P3Dv4?

nope, and it is just this aircraft, and only on the horizontal tail

[YoYo]

About american skins WWII of Skytrain (engines cover), something was happened in process:

Orginal:



WiP (ok still):



Finall:



Painter miss something ; ) .

Please to check main gear also (the bracket is too long than real one, result the plane has strange deflection) and shock absorption:

Why is that funny extension underneath the fuselage? It is ugly, like the scrotum of a sheep. Never saw it on any picture, nor originals, not of actual still flying C-47's.
Please make a hotfix to remove it.

Piet,

I sincerely hope you were kidding! A hotfix to remove the ADF antenna seems a touch ridiculous!

Cheers!
