Fantastic work, Jan & Team!
Fantastic work, Jan & Team!
Jan-
We all wait with bated breath....
I know the way the C-47 levitates, rather than rotates, because of the magic wrought by Manfred Jahn. I cocoon myself in glorious sound through the talents of Ted (Tu-Fun). I escape to distant (in miles and years) locales with paints from Jankees, Gordon, Hani and other talented painters. Now, I even see Gordon has taken sheet aluminum to a new spectrum.
Finally, this.... the sanctum centorium... the suspended space, where all my interactions with this hallowed old girl will occur. P3d has allowed for our beloved sim to live on, and has brought many improvements. Glorious light and shadow are so tangible to increasing suspension of belief, despite total willingness . Your magic in transforming the usually sterile into cramped, lived-in, believable virtual space; so authentic that I can almost smell the cracked leather, saturated with years of sweat, wiped down occasionally with saddle soap, is brilliant! Thank-you for your perseverance through an arduous effort- We are most grateful.
The Hump, Rangoon, Casablanca, Alaska and every far off place (again, in distance and time) will yet again have air-explorers. I can guarantee at least one
Best- Carl
Looking absolutely great, Jan!

So glad you got the shadows working in DX10. They make such a big difference in terms of realism and immersion. And I have to agree that those shots display some of the best VC environments that I've seen for this sim. Simply beautiful and so lovingly detailed.
Fabulous!...and glad you've got the vc shadows fixed for Dx10

I am completely in agreement that this is possibly the brightest star, shining amongst a constellation of other magnificent aircraft. Jan has given this airplane as much life and personality as it's real world ancestors.
Regarding the idea of "Donation-ware" I would offer up this consideration.
I prefer the verbiage of "Contribution-ware" rather than "Donation-ware", as it acknowledges the intent to direct energy back into a chosen cause. I cannot speak for Manfred Jahn or Jan, but as it applies to my contributions to this project, I would like to see an option created that would allow anyone who wishes to contribute to the Sim Outhouse site for their dedication, the opportunity to do so on a purely voluntary basis. The airplane would remain entirely freeware of course, but also present the end user with options to support our "hobby" as well.
I would be more than willing to dedicate my skins and other involvements with this aircraft towards this specific goal.
What say ye?

Well, speaking just as a grateful end user, I'd be happy to pay the equivalent of what a premium payware a/c would cost me, and let the team direct the funds however they see fit. Donation or contribution, either is fine. But I'm going to feel really guilty paying nothing at all and just accepting it as a gift...

So impressive.....Having spent a few hours in the right hand seat of one of these, I simply can't get over the attention to detail. Would feel very much at home in this and look forward to the future.

Hi,
I am not a fan for donationware or contribution-ware. I prefer payware or freeware. It is clear. About charity, i don't need to be incited for this and you?
JMC
.... and again, I'd suggest a gentle course change- back to celebrating Jan's incredible work and the excitement that the cumulative efforts of our talents here at SOH are/will create with this total C-47 package... soon .
Best- C
Since this vintage Gooney Bird cockpit is the spawn of this august body, how about the contributionware going to support our virtual hangar, this website?

How about this matter is not discussed any further here.
The decision is not ours to make and should be left to those
who are directly concerned.
Whatever it may be will be perfectly acceptable.
Since you do allow me my own opinion, I am simply suggesting that the subject
is left well alone.
Why don't we simply appeal to admin to remove my above post, and allow the conversation to return to appreciation of this exquisite effort by the author of this post. I shall re-post my tendered offer in a forum less offensive to the general membership.

There's no harm in suggestions but lets keep to our admiration of Jan and team's beautiful vc.

ONGELOFELIJK!! SPRAKELOOS!!
I am speechless. My most favorite aircraft is screaming "I'm Alive!!''
One day without laughter, is one day without living.
One day without Flight Simming, is one day lost living.
Donation, Donation, Donation I want to push that botton.
Thank you

I was doing some instruments tests this morning when all of a sudden Ted (Tufun) stepped inside the cockpit. He just wanted to have a look how things were going. What i didn't know was that he had a camera with him... I went on with the test and later on i found this on my desk :

Thanks, Ted, you sly devil !
Wow! I'm lost for words.
