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

**degeus** · June 17th, 2020, 06:52

Hi,
The attachment shows its added value to the C-47 world.

**degeus** · June 22nd, 2020, 06:57

Hi,
Apart from all other goodies, I am missing the cameraviews presented normally as list in the VC cockpitview (like toproof, pedastal etc). In my aircraft.cfg they are present and equal to the "normal" C-47.
What could be wrong?

Thank You for 1.2.
HT2 was released so I install it again. I took my favorite skin AA and DC-3. New textures are better for P3Dv5, thx, and colour is ok but .... see this:

Horizontal stabilizer has "old" colours from P3Dv4, not like wings and te rest (improved to P3Dv5). Its a problem of spec file, not the same like the rest for metallic texture (has completely different colors).

I see also parts of paintkit (black lines), this should probably be hidden by painter.

Im back to AH DC-3. Installed Today on P3Dv5.1 HF1 (MSFS is boring still for me due the lack of interesting addons).
Thx for 1.2 update. I'll try it. I just want to write for my conscience

that the main gear has an issue still. Its better now that it was (and big TY for this!) but the connection is wrong (you need a better observer

) but I can probably live with it

.

btw. looks like the model works without a problem on P3Dv5.1 HF1 too.

Real Deal

**YoYo** · November 30th, 2020, 13:48

Exactly it shows the issue in model, on this picture is visible but leave it. Its a small glitch.

**YoYo** · December 1st, 2020, 06:26

This issue was reported but it isnt solved still. The model hasnt right voltage for simulator from true cold and dark. This swich on Radio (on/off, yellow arrow) do nothing, just I can hear the click but it doesnt turn radios (no animation also). Result is "no electric" on ATC still.
So for cold and dark I must use Ctrl+E to see right power voltage

.

Thanks for pointing these issues out. At least I still enjoy Manfred's C-47 in P3D 4.5

Yep, Manfred's C-47 is a solid and very well done addon.... but AH model has many nice features also. It could only use more accuracy and tests.

btw. changelog 1.2:

Cowl-flap controls removed from Wright-engined variants (DC-3)

But in both Wright-engined models I see still controls for cowl flaps (installed version for P3Dv5):

maybe I take in the final all noticed issues from 1.2v. and I'll send @ to support of AH. Maybe for 1.3 patch.
But it's also been pretty quiet on AH lately, they've always been so active with new addons...

We have moved location to the North ( to the ocean for a bit of peace!) so have been off-line with no internet for about a month. Yesterday the big pipe was installed so we are now in the process of putting everything back together. I need to go through the DC3 package and check it over. I am sure we issued a patch with the Wright engined version having a cockpit with no cowlflap controls but ...

A revised patch will be coming with several corrected glitches such as the ones you have already noted. Expect sand in the updates. Thanks.

Thx Bazz! So its a good news and nice to hear about new place for live, especially now. I also moved far out of town, actually near the forest

for half a year but now I had to go back to town.

I looked for what this interior is about (for Wright engine version), this entry is ok and the file is present but see the picture.

[models]
normal=AH_DC3-WrightLeftDoor_exterior
interior=../model.interior/AH_DC3-WrightMod_interior

Maybe the wrong file was saved for P3Dv5:

About main gear, I did comparison and here you have very good video how it works and where are the joints of the brackets (its a small issue, only if you have a time for this):

So I'll create till the end of this week email with all things and will sent to support if it's possible for the coming patch

. TY and stay healthy .

Today's flight is a mysterious cargo from Mexico. I prefer not to ask what it is.

**YoYo** · December 3rd, 2020, 02:12

Someone want to have Delta Air Lines repaint from me?

Just I need this font, it would be best (maybe someone has it, before I will create it myself).

btw. I see that paintkit isnt layerd

, TGA files only with one layer (with different background), no PSD or CPT. Its still possible but its better to have layered files.

**stansdds** · December 3rd, 2020, 02:17

Better be careful flying "mysterious cargo" from south of the border.

**mjahn** · December 3rd, 2020, 07:26

Maybe check C-47 rear loading doors proportions and hinges?

**bazzar** · December 3rd, 2020, 12:14

We are currently re-building the DC3 for MSFS and as part of that project, a major upgrade for P3DV4.5 and V5 is also scheduled.

Bazzar,
I am looking forward to both of them. Soon? Week? Months?
With kind regards,
Piet de Geus

**bazzar** · December 4th, 2020, 12:23

Hello Piet, the upgrade for P3DV4.5 and 5 will be this month. MSFS hopefully first quarter of 2021.

**YoYo** · December 4th, 2020, 14:23

Ok, started to paint, WIP. It isnt easy job here. Not good paintkit and many parts has different background, little mess... but I will do what I can.

It will be full PBR version for P3Dv5.

Bazz, just one question where is this part of front of propeller? I cant find it. All variants has this black nose (so I guess it's a bug or a lack of texture?)
