Aeroplane Heaven C-47/DC-3 is out!

**Chock** · June 7th, 2020, 20:18

Update to my review, covering the now working engine start and the additional C-47 floatplane variant.

And my original review of the DC-3 and C-47 bundle.

Good job fixing the engines AH. Now we can fly the thing properly.

If I may be so bold, how about an Allegheny Airlines skin?

Just downloaded and going through Manual. Thought I saw somewhere, a while back, there was a 1940's PAA livery...but can't find one. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Using model in P3D v4.5.

Thanks,

Garry

There's a PAA livery coming in the livery packs.

**YoYo** · June 8th, 2020, 22:40

Bazz, the update of 1.2 it was sent to PCAvaitor?
Can I start the countdown?

Btw. I saw post about no rain effect now on windshields. Is it possible to turn it on from user? I liked it.

**bazzar** · June 9th, 2020, 00:18

PC Aviator was uploaded and notified along with everyone else. They are incredibly slow. I would suggest for the future, you change your vendor. The rain effects can be turned on by removing the // from the front of the gauge entries in the panel CFG. However, you MUST have the latest effects from A2A for this to work in V5. We understand that they have been updated.

Got a question. Has AH already released their promised paintkit? I am not able to find it on their site. Even after the upgrade email, where they mentioned that it will be available.

Not yet - I am waiting, too!!

What we actually said was that the paintkits would be made available when we launch our livery packs. The "Pro" kit will be shipped with the livery packs, the "Re-skinner's" kit will be available as a free download from our website. This is all assuming that LM doesn't change too much in another HotFix for V5. If they change anything to do with dynamic lighting, the paintkits will be obsolete and require re-mastering. Again. Developers are having a hard time with V5 so far.

That is what I remember from the email too.

If I understand you correctly, even the "Re-skinner's" pack is dependent on the next hotfix from LM?

No worries, I will wait patiently and thanks for your answer.

Yes, the downloaded file is 1.2 and no more blue polished metal in V5!

**YoYo** · June 9th, 2020, 13:55

Ok, I download it. Thx.

Edit. Yes, Readme talks about 1.2v

Now that the patch and paint kit are out, I am hoping that our local (SOH) talent update their C-47 skins for the AH DC-3. Finally having a variant without the sextant bubble and Rebecca whiskers has my juices flowing, and with the HUGE amount of repaints available for MJ's bird, the possibilities are (almost) endless.

I did fly her for a bit yesterday, and was pleased with the different take off characteristics modeled. She now "levitates like an Otis Elevator" instead of the prior wheel-barrowing- well done AH! Alex Metzger's FDE is brilliant, but I must say this one doesn't disappoint... very predictable and measured, and rolling her on to the asphalt was confidence inspiring after a couple of hesitant explorations. The view forward is now familiar and the texture downsizing doesn't seem to impact the visuals whatsoever (I'm on 4k).

In toto, she's matured into a very decent representation of a very beloved aeroplane, and how can one not applaud that- BZ AH!

That is interesting. Where did you find mentioned files? Nothing on the website and I did not receive a notification either. Mya accoutn still states 1.2 as the current version.
