Attention all DC-3 fans !

Hi Jan,

Time for a little update, I'm VERY curious!

R.

I second that.

Trying to be patient. Failing, mostly...

Yeeeeeeeees! Despite current lack of commentary I visit this thread each day (truth be told, sometimes twice) and also was excited to see the bump (but now I'm just adding to the confusion ).

Jan- your adoring fans wait (patiently) in pseudo-silence.... Any more glimpses to stir the soul?

Patience is good. Patience is a virtue. Practise you must, my young padawan...


Furthermore i'd like say that, next to P3D v.2, i now have the VVC model working in FSX and P3D v1.4 too. Quite a bumpy road initially but master Lionheart pulled me thru eventually ( thanks again Bill ! ), very happy with that so normal work can continue, aka texturing and animating. Tedious work but has to be done and remember, the devil is in the details.. With great anticipation i am awaiting Hansi's gauge faceplates and coding so i can start filling up the panel with working gauges.

Getting the base VVC model going and showing you some screenshots of it was only the first part. Still a long road ahead so i think it might be wise to ask the moderators to unstick this thread. Once i have all texture work done i'll start a new one with more screenies, news and a 3D model in Sketchfab for you to have a look round. (untextured stuff in Sketchfab doesn't look very interesting)

Practise your patience and all will be well. I'll be back later, don't worry.


Cheers,
Jan

Pacing the floor is good, losing weight you will..

Sad to say, that little green jumpy thing is a pretty good representation of the state of my Zen practice.

No worries, though. I'm bringing it along through a kind of walking meditation - specifically, wearing out a groove between Hay River and Yellowknife in the C-47v2 in Buffalo paint. And truth be told, the current modern VC isn't really much of a hindrance.

So take your time, and I'll look forward to a new, future sticky thread... and to starting the cycle of impatience all over again...

Jan, as per your suggestion, we'll unstick for now. Either start a new thread when ready or ressurect this one.

Best regards,

Roger.

Jan: It's about your avatar...what is it? Looks something like a TD, for which I have a lust.

Yes, Kelly, the gorgeous face of a MG-TD. Used to be the proud owner of one many years ago and hope to be once again sooner or later. (also because a DC-3 is out of the question. Although it doesn't fly next best thing if you ask me.

cheers,
Jan

I am a former owner of a MGA, MGB, and a couple of mid-60's Triumph 650's.
I no longer have any electrical or cooling problems, I now drive a Mazda Miata.
They were great running cars and bikes when they ran right, I would love to go back to the times when I owned them, Back when life was much simpler. Life is too complicated nowadays.

When I was a teenager, my cousin had an MGB and a friend of mine had an Austin Healey Sprite. I thought the Bug Eye Sprite was marvelous and huge fun for such a small package. I never owned an English car or bike but my father worked at an English car dealership as a mechanic and at 16 I worked there as new car showroom prep and cleanup. I've driven just about all the ol school English cars including a Jag XKE and a Sunbeam Tiger. The XKE was a beautiful machine and the Tiger was scary! Being innocent but brave, I gassed on the Tiger in second gear at about 30 mph., and not to the floor, I just about had to go home and change my shorts LOL

Bump. For those trying to find this thread.

[CanadaKen]

Thanks for the Bump....it was me who was looking for this topic.

Two threads in one.

1-Can hardly wait for the vintage DC-3 panel....I fly Manfred's 3 all the time.

2-I was standing at the corner of Robson and Burrard streets in Vancouver last summer.
Beside me were about six 19-20 year old girls. Up drives an E-Type Jag convertible....BRG
with tan interior. It STOPPED THEM COLD! There was a car most likely older than their parents
yet it left them speechless.

An E-Type Jaguar would stop anyone... I still think it is one of the most desirable automobiles of all time...

Ahh, the English sports cars. As a late teen out of high school, my second job, in very early 1968, was for an auto radio/stereo installation and repair shop in San Diego. We were a pretty good sized shop, and did new installations on most all makes of cars. Did a lot of dealer work, installing stereos and 8-track systems. Remember those?? One of our biggest customers was British Motors of San Diego, down by MCRD, north side. Our shop was up on Washington street, off 395, now 163, just south of Interstate 8. Those of you who live or grew up in San Diego know the area. We used to go down to the dealership and bring back the cars to install the systems in. Many times we would pick up 2-3 cars at a time. Many times we picked up 2 XKEs. As soon as we were out of sight of the dealership, it was "game on!!" How we managed to keep from damaging any of the cars we worked on, or kept from getting tickets, only the lord knows. I drove everything sold in San Diego County in 1968 & 69. Everything. Volkswagens to Rolls Royce, Ford Falcons to a Hemi Road Runner. Yeh, those were the days!

I just remember the scene from the movie Vanishing Point, where Kowalski meets the guy in the E-Type outside Green River, UT...

The guy in the Jag didn't fare too well in the end...

Speaking about the Jaguar XKE, Enzo Ferrari once said that it was one of the most beautiful cars he had ever seen.
