Right, I've tweaked and polished her as much as I dare. Just uploaded her to SOH, she should hopefully be available soon.

I was thinking about this, I don't think you can separate this from a conversation about the Douglas DC-3 without bringing the Curtiss C-46 into the discussion. The CW-20 was actually a more advanced plane then the Douglas machine, but it was the numbers built in World War II, that put so many surplus DC-3 on the market that the Curtiss machine became all but an after thought.

Wish I could jump on one of these to France for the final day of the Ryder Cup tomorrow. Should be an exciting final day of golf - good luck to all, may the best team win!

Been a way busy week here, "All my bags are packed and I'm ready to go..." and my house is in order. Got all day tomorrow to see if this latest sky project of mine may be uploaded for any who may want to give it a go. Seriously, am knowing guys who spend far less time choosing a wife than I do creating a set of FS skies. These textures will be easy to live with for a long while, growing on you instead of growing old to you. Quite realistic... and the night sky is delicious! Love flying at night but the skies always seemed to dent the immersion. This isn't nearly as much of a factor now.
Here's several shots to give you an idea, all of them captured @ 50 miles visibility...
A new - dawn - is coming...
- Post dawn - Flew this gem for hours and hours testing out the transitions.

Now then, for the midnight textures. Very likely different from anything you've seen to date,
and I've looked at a boatload of them over the past 15 years. Have slapped a larger, darker frame to help you view it...
A night sky you'll hopefully truly enjoy, all you fellow night flyers. Suggest- Downloading then full-screening it to really see it.
Here's a .jpg of the bitmaps, highly de-saturated overall, a real mishmash of adjusted textures. They work...
Yeah, all 10 days are the same. Gives you multiple possibilities- Uniformity - or simply get rid of 1 of the 10 texture sets
you know you can't stand anyway and fly this set once in a random while.
