FSX Douglas C-117D Skytrooper

I agree, I like it very much.
I painted this particular aircraft earlier, as N82TN, but after finding a pic of it in Kenn Borek colors, with very flashy propellors, I could not resist..

excellent, did you try with red or yellow colors ?

Ok, I checked why the RMI is not displaying correctly: The compass rose
bitmap has been enlarged but that messed up the whole gauge. There is
another problem with the background bitmap of that gauge.

So, would say, the fastest way to fix the RMI ist to use that gauge from
Manfred's Basler BT-67. To do this you must locate the file BT67_HD.CAB
in the Basler PANEL folder. Create a copy of that CAB and place it in the
C-117D PANEL folder. Then, as a last step, edit the PANEL.CFG file and
change the following line in the [Vcockpit02]-section:

Change the line

gauge03=R4D8_HD!rmi, 12,341,98,98

into

gauge03=BT67_HD!rmi, 12,341,98,98

That should do it.

Btw, excellent repaints, guys! Great job!

I was unable to find the file BT67_HD.cab you referenced. The BT67 V.2 uses Cessna208B_Basler.cab for the rmi gauge.

If you have a link as to where this may be downloaded, it would be appreciated.

Hey Jan...those are awesome. I'm working on the wing rivets now. Update coming.

[HighGround22]

. . . I'm working on the wing rivets now. Update coming.

Oh, youse guys! GMan and Jan Kees are making this aircraft a Flight-Simmer's paradise!

Many thanks to you both.

With Manfred's permission I am re-working the bumps for the C-117. Also look for the C-47 Skytrain at some point. This is definitely a worthy model.
I just downloaded Jankees "Ken Borek"...mannnn it's really nice. The slow start with these props is just too good. Nice one JK.

I did! I did see you!Attachment 91852

I should of toured there too in my Yellow "Follow Me" Jeep.


Ohhhh....there I am!!!!!

[TuFun]

Thanks G and Jan for some awesome repaints. Thanks Manfred and team for a payware quality aircraft that's stunning and freeware! :salute:

Hey Butch... I actually used a jeep as a follow me in one of my old videos.

Thought you guys might like a sneak preview of the M Jahn C-47. I'm working on the skins now, and developing a comprehensive paint kit. So far I've added wing rivets and an enhanced bump map. WIP shots...
Caveat: I'm aware this is a civilian paint on the wrong C-47 type, but I couldn't resist. We'll wait and see what Manfred puts together for the release...maybe a civie and military version.

Woooooooooooooooooow! That looks fantastic ******** , can't wait to get that one in the virtual air.

[yankeeromeo]

red and yellow?

i would say; did you try also the red and yellow colors on the props :ques:
Btw, which dds file is the prop :ques:
Thanks in advance.

[Thog10]

Fantastic Piedmont colors on that 47, ********!

[jankees]

no, I did not try red & yellow, because I thought they were black & white. Is this colorblindness striking again?
The props are on C117_1.dds

Great shots of C-GGKG guys, thanks for posting.
G, I was planning some aussie C-47 paints for the C-117, but perhaps it will be better to wait? Piedmont looks great!

I might wait J...I don't know what all Manfred has planned for the re-release, but I know for sure the paint kit will be extensive. Everything is layered so lots of flexibility. The wing rivets and new bump maps will be there too. You will have a lot more to work with.

I think the wing rivets are developed enough for me to transfer them to the C-117. I'll re-work the PSD, make a new bump set and upload the mods.
The wing rivets look much, much better on the C-47. This mod will really improve the C-117...as if it's not great already.

I gotta admit...I like this airplane. For a freeware it really, really doesn't suck. lol

Color blind painter...that cracks me up.

Having a little bit of fun "G" with the Chuting Stars! Still tweaking FSX, so not as smooth just yet. Haven't create a profile for the aircraft so I'm just winging it for now. Sever crosswinds on landing with gust up to 25 knots. Oh, there's a mouse running on the wing, he won't be there long!

Don't worry about it, you got the colors right.
They ARE black and white.

[jankees]

Phfew!

[TuFun]

Something I'm working on...

[gman5250]

Nice subtle touch TF. How does it look at night????
