Hi ya Adam

Criminy that is so sweet!!!

**Anthin** · April 6th, 2015, 19:22

In my opinion,This cockpit is way ahead of any top
payware I have ever seen.This is truly Mind boggling
in quality.

Regards.

Anthin.

I agree 100%. The DC-3/C-47 and the C-97 are better than the majority of payware out there.
I'm just drooling over the C-97!!!

**jandmbear** · April 17th, 2015, 08:11

yes, any updates or teasers?

**Javis** · April 17th, 2015, 16:30

Qué ??!! (i'm from Barcelona..)

I just sent one a week or so ago!!... : http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...l=1#post946394

You don't care for levers then ??.....

Can come in very handy you know..

Closing off the cockpit now, at the back and glass all around (with proper cockpit reflection (don't worry, just a hint) ) and opening/closing side and front/side windows and get good shadowing going. We are deffinately getting somewhere now.

Until later.

cheers,

Stunning detail Jan !!! Mike

**jandmbear** · April 30th, 2015, 20:53

Any update on this?

**robcap** · May 3rd, 2015, 08:27

Does it have a removable fire extinguisher cover, with working extinguisher switch underneath

**Daveroo** · May 3rd, 2015, 08:49

ive been wondering,but afraid to ask,will this updated cockpit be a user installed item?..or will it be put in the DC3 package and re-reliesed as a whole package?.....i havent downloaded the DC3 as yet to the new pc,and ill wait until this is done to do so if included in a new or updated ,package.

You're missing out!! Even without this fantastic cockpit, it's an amazing add-on - with dozens of superb liveries out there. Sound is great too! Honestly, this freeware even as it stands is way better than a lot of payware out there.

Adam.

EDIT: Just re-read your post. Sounds like you already have it on your old PC. In that case ... how can you live without it on your new PC?

And Don has his paintings and loving them, and by the way Ian, the customs dogs, thought the packaging excellent as well, hard for them to open without being obvious! Ian YOU are a master! Mom says hi, and will let me see her painting after I do the shopping! Thanks Ian!

Pleased Don , Hi Mom , I went in for another photo mission last Friday, whilst there they mentioned I should return on Monday for extra photo shoot but also come in with my art port folio , I was introduced to an ex- USN Connie navigator .. his primary aircraft was VX-6 'Phoenix', married a NZ girl, retired and now tour guide out at Wigram , he gave the thumbs up on the paintings .. looks like I have extra work.

**dharris** · May 4th, 2015, 18:04

You have to stay away from Navy officers they are a wiley bunch! Great you are having this contact over there, closest Connie to me is at the Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio. About a five hour trip, great place to visit, been there many times, http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/ first rate layout of the museum and some really great planes. The Connie is a former Air Force ec121D, http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/fac...eet.asp?id=328 you can sort through 19 photos of her, talking to one of the volunteers, they have display nights and you can go aboard the different aircraft. All the best to the navigator and especially to you, great opprtunity for you.

Radar console was my baby

Sure, Dave, it's going to be a new package with the vintage VC included. Going to take a while still so i'd take Adam's advice and install the current pack on your new rig. No need to uninstall later when the new vintage VC included package is released. They'll happily live together.

cheers,
jan

Don, that's the great thing getting to know the bunch, specifically for and exactly what Jan has produced with this DC-3 , almost become an ambassador for the museum and get the added detail for us Dak flyers, "a removable fire extinguisher cover" now that's a first

Looks like you had a real cozy spot , for in the day that would have been a no no to look at or photo.

**dharris** · May 5th, 2015, 16:26

If you can call 14-15 hour flights cozy, especially when we had a couple of CICO's with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. Two in particular, would want to check the crystals in the radar receiver, and would throw the switch to put a back current across them, you could only do that a couple of times and the crystals would blow. We carried extra but not enough, more than once I had to tell the skipper to turn back to Midway Island, because the radar was down, and could not continue the mission. Idiots were told, but they were always concerned with max ranges on their scope dopes, and would try to blame the equipment. Oh well we survived, you should have tried to adjust the negative and positive power supplies on the cusor boards for the the scope consoles. Had to have both panels off sitting on the floor with a screwdriver in each hand while the second tech or someone else would tell you when sweep was centered, lots of weather up north around the Aletiun Islands bounce at the wrong time, and the screw driver would slip off, and it would set off a couple of rick o sheas back and forth into the gear. Yeah that was a cozy spot!

**Ian Warren** · May 5th, 2015, 17:41

Don , I would have been happy with just the window seats ... bouncing around doing the ole 'rick o sheas'

... as for the couple of CICO's with just enough knowledge to be dangerous, yip unfortunately they are appear today.

One thing I noticed with the DC-3 , to get the window seat yip that was me .. straight thru like a rocket , but it was funny thing to look out off one ... you had to slide down the seat to peat out, a trip back from Wanaka 2004 , the ole 'rick o sheas' faster than a speeding bullet .. with the chatter of load .... a quiet word mentioned anyone want the jump seat .... in like 'Flash' Wanaka to Wigram ... just dang camera failed .. lack off batteries DOH!
