Updated MAAM C-47...
I downloaded and installed this update yesterday and here is a sequence to show it off:-
Here is the new updated VC, which I'm sure you will agree looks superb.
There goes "Echo" for a quick local flight while the F-16s are on a day free of duty (it's Thursday).
A full sequence of my circuit in this aeroplane can be seen by clicking here:-

You can also find a download URL for the update and another to show details included in the update.
Thanks for looking :dance:

i am waiting for the updated for the passenger version, having downloaded the update on the release day. there are only two of the update aircraft i like. mainly the english ones, ie pegasus.
mark beaumont has indicated that the civy version is not that far away from release. hopefully they will also bring out the canadian search and rescue texture. Not a big fan of american 2nd world war stuff. canadian is ok as it's owned by mr's windsor.

It is really worth buying the original CD...Wonderful value and absolutely full of great stuff...Then when you have installed you can download the rest of the variants and updates. Part of the cost of the CD is donated to MAAM so it is a worthy cause
BTW...There is something rather special about flying this aeroplane...They seem to have achieved some magic effect with the .air file...As you lift it clear of the ground, you just get this feeling that it IS really flying. For me it is quite unique in Flight Simulator :dance:

Peter, I think you've sold it to me. I've read a fair bit about the MAAM Dakota, and as I'm sure you'll agree, you don't mind paying for something if you know its the best available. Your endorsement finally seals it, and much appreciated.
So..thats the Just Flight 'Vulcan', the Alphasim 'Catalina' and now the MAAM 'Dakota' on the list. Bosun, lash that Barclaycard to the hatch cover whilst I flog it!!

That model I'm using there is the "Delivery" model in bare metal...American yes, but I have to say that I have rather taken to it...I love to watch the lightplay on the skin...Best seen on the starboard side for technical reasons :roll:david balmer wrote:i am waiting for the updated for the passenger version, having downloaded the update on the release day. there are only two of the update aircraft i like. mainly the english ones, ie pegasus.

It is the "Cargo Drop" model, but I must admit that I have not yet done that...I dropped some paratroops on McLeland Field some time ago and that went well...They landed on the beach. I will try to drop some cargo in the same place. I notice that this model is carrying 3400 lbs of cargo ready to drop.
Douglas C-47-DL Transport, c/n 4426, 41-18388 delivered June 1942. Later reported missing in action.
BTW with reference to your previous post on the number of tanks...I never use the VC so with the 2D panel I have all four tanks

Peter, i have just spend a little time with the bbmf, what a cracker. now altering the cfg to all aircraft to help with moving around on the hard stuff. without pedals and separate throttles it can be a bugger to swing round.
Paul, you will not be disappointed with this add on. if you need advice on panel mods and cfg alteration. give us a shout. just a note for you, read and watch the training book as this old girl can work tricks on you. best of luck flying the old girl.

Thanks David, I've just this minute ordered it from the MAAM website. Nice to see it comes in a BEA livery too. Actually, given the ubiquitous nature of the DC-3, and that this is probably the best model of it, there must be loads of repaints available.david balmer wrote:Paul, you will not be disappointed with this add on. if you need advice on panel mods and cfg alteration. give us a shout. just a note for you, read and watch the training book as this old girl can work tricks on you. best of luck flying the old girl.
Anyway, I'll now go and sit by the letter box and wait.
