Douglas C-47 V3 Beta Released

[Adamski_NZ]

... If you wish to remove any sounds, you can do this by making a copy of the silence.wav, renaming it to the
file name of the sound you don't like and replacing the file in the DGSounds folder with the new silent file.
There are three such seat rattle files and you will need to replace them all.

Sorry to resurrect/bump this old post ... but I'd like to tone down the rattles slightly.

DGSounds folder???? This doesn't appear to be the default v3 sound folder as installed - so I can't find the culprit(s).

I appreciate you may be referring to some additional (Dave Garwood sounds <!--??-->). how would I tweak the original sound files?

I ran into the same thing when applying the manufacturer decals to the engine cowls. There is a fix, but it needs to be done using the actual model. The UVW map needs to be modified, adding dedicated left and right mesh for the engines. Right now the engines share the same map.

That caught me out as well (with the Pratt & Whitney logos). Is the mapping likely to be amended at some stage, do you think?

Any chance the sound wizards could add altitude call-outs on approach to the already wonderful sound pak?

Hello Adam,

DG = the very talented Daniel Gauthier
From the readme....
This is the next version following Manfred's popular Douglas C-47 Skytrain V2, now featuring a 'Vintage Virtual Cockpit' (VVC) as well as a fully fledged cockpit-soundsuite, crew communication and audible checklist developed by Daniel Gauthier.

It is at Airplanes\Douglas_C-47_V3.12_Beta\panel\DGSounds and you would need to (know how to) edit the config files.

Hahaha! I was wrong on all counts LOL!

I didn't think to look in the panel folder!!!! Many thanks, Nick!!

Got the V2's to use V3's cockpit.

Hello,

You should be aware that there are very many changes to the V3 aircraft model to accommodate the VVC,
so you cannot expect it to work properly in the V2 model.
I see you have already found that the tail wheel does not sit correctly.

Is there a way we can add the paratrooper panel to repaints?

Cheers Chris

[ncooper]

Yes, simply copy panel3.dds from the texture.paratrooper folder into your repaint folder.

[speedy70]

Thanks Nick.

Cheers Chris

I've been niggling away at Janiek Arp's Name: douglas_c47_v3_private_livery.zip With this it is so simple to to recreate a paint, I think I should simply release this cos I have modified metal texture , plus the cheat lines, great thing between Janiek's work and and a few others will be very help full, another base for others to tinker around with .. this seriously is a mind blowing freeware aircraft

Ok, background is ready so I decided to do next skin. Can not miss Skytrain from Operation Overlord !
Here is the preview of C-47A from D-Day, regards:







Soon. I hope You will like it.

[William Njurmi]

What can I say to express my gratitude? Just thanks sounds too lame. Perhaps the ultimate freeware ever?

Anyway, Thank You for this plane. After a landing circuit, I´m thrilled. Many exciting adventures ahead.

Very Nice - Wait it

[Stickshaker]

Thank you! D-Day skins are one of my favorites!

[speedy70]

I flew the C-47 from Innsbruck Austria to Horovice in the Czech Republic last night and the copilot sung a song!!!

Today I flew her from Alderney in the channel islands to Jersey and he said"Better open a window someones been sick in back"

It gets better by the day.

Cheers Chris

Thx. RAF verion preview. Dakota Mk.III "Spirit o Ostra brama".







It will be in the same time like D-Day skin.

Adam.

Jan and Manfred would be making that decision. I can sure bump the request forward.

Very nice!!! YoYo, what's the meaning of "Ostra brama"?

As to the rattles, the default sound folder contains a file named silence.wav which is exactly that, a silent file.
If you wish to remove any sounds, you can do this by making a copy of the silence.wav, renaming it to the
file name of the sound you don't like and replacing the file in the DGSounds folder with the new silent file.
There are three such seat rattle files and you will need to replace them all.

I don't know why anyone would want to get rid of the seat rattle sounds. Adds to immersion and is pretty realistic for this old bird.

Seat Rattle:

This is one of those areas that fall into the category of "artistic interpretation". The developer and team come to a consensus on sound level, immersion etc. and publish the project. Of course, everyone has their own taste and would like adjustments made.

There is an alternative to eliminating or globally modifying the seat rattle sound files. There are a number of sound editor programs available online. For anyone wishing to modify these particular files, they can be loaded into an editor and tweaked to one's preference, then re-saved. It's not technically difficult and solves the issue quickly.
