ColR1948 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I forgot I had this aircraft, anyway got it fired up in the sim and as the engines started at first I thought it was good seeing all that smoke coming from them, but it never stopped and to me it spoiled it. So got busy tracking down the problem, a bit of aircraft.cfg tweaking and I cracked it, this is the RAAF version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peer01 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Colin, beautiful DC-2 you have! :cool::cool::cool: What FSX version you have? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Hi Jan FSX Gold boxed with acceleration on Windows 10. Also I downloaded a few textures for it but they are different to what textures I already have and it says they are the 'int' model. I did a search but couldn't find it, although one site said it was there to download but it seemed a bit dodgy and wanted me to install something else first so I left it.

peer01 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) I don't understand, I have the same FSX but with windows 7 professional 64. Your DC-2 prop disc is also not good. Here's my DC-2: It's the MAAM DC-2 for Fs9 and FSX: (windows 10 may be the problem, I had the same (and lots of other) problems so I deleted Windows 10 again After that: no problems.

ColR1948 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 You were right Jan, I changed them for the default DC-3 props, looks a lot better, thank you. In the texture downloads I got for it some are BMP and some DDS, the ones on this are DDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Much better Col! I don't know what is best DDS or BMP, as I don't know that much about either! I believe most of my C-47 and default DC-3 are dds for texture files. I haven't had to concern myself one way or the other, as I have had no issues what so ever! AND, I too like Jan, have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and I will continue using it until it won't work for me anymore! So glad you are back in business Col!

ColR1948 Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 I used to have Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I got used to it, I liked it. I have it on disk but when I installed it again after the crash it asked me to register it, which I did but it wouldn't accept the number, got a message saying it had been used too many times. That was true as I had put it on a few of my older machines plus a few laptops, all belonging to me by the way, so in the end I upgraded to Windows 10. I'm not keen on it to be honest and would love to have Windows 7 again but I don't fancy going through all the saving of files and installing again. Col.

ColR1948 Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 I just had to have a dabble so I did a fictional on the DC-2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColR1948 Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Again I had to change the prop texture, the one on this wasn't black but still very visible, so I used one from a SAAB lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 For all 3-bladed props in FSX that have problems, I use the Spinprop.DDS from the Freeware Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon Gold Edition 2018. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Yes, Jan, and it seems like Milton Shupe uses the Spinprop on many of his larger aircraft, like you say 3 bladed or larger props. I just looked, the Spinprop is on both the Howard and the Harpoon! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
