    Oh, that is a thing of beauty!

    Your Dak, an Anushka and a Twin Otter, and my MSFS hangar will be pretty well complete.

    I’m continually amazed how this sim renders the models. The degree to which they look real is mind blowing IMO. This DC-3 looks absolutely amazing- an immediate buy for me.

    Thanks all for the comments, much appreciated. It takes a bit more than just the sim engine to get things looking right. The learning curve for models, materials and textures is steep and full of boulders. Once in a while, in fact at nearly every "upgrade" a boulder will break loose and come tumbling down toward you at speed...

    Shots of the VC soon...

    You must be a happy man, Barry !

    Fantastic work on our beloved Dakota. A great tribute to one of the most iconic aeroplanes in the world. It looks absolutely mindblowing ! And in my fav livery (apart from KLM ;-) and all.
    If this ain't Aeroplane Heaven i don't know what is !

    Cheers,
    Jan

    Thanks Jan, she's just a little dear to our hearts too. I took my first commercial flight in a BEA DC-3 back 1966. I have never forgotten it. I'd do it again tomorrow. (If we could...)

    Looking soo nice.

    My wallet is screaming "take it, take it".

    One day without Flight Simming, is one day lost living.
