kalizzi Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I learned to love the DC-4 from Jan. I have always been a two-engine prop enthusiast, until -encouraged by many members of this forum, to download and try Jens Kristensen's DC-4 / C-54 model. It is quite amazing. I downloaded the latest NorthEastern repaint by the talented Gary Harper and took the ship for a spin. This little baby is a pleasure to fly, and to add more fun, I have an excellent custom panel installed -designed by my good friend Rick. Its a shame that Flight Replicas isn't going to offer any Christmas sale on their Douglas DC-4 model :mad: Quite a princely price tag.

Happy holidays to all. :pilot: :cool: :cool: Khalid Asus P8Z77-V Premium Mobo w\32GB MSATA Caching SSD On-Board | i7-3770K CPU | 16GB DDR3 1600 | FSX Gold on 1TB boot SSD | P3Dv4 on 512MB SSD | 1TB+2TB WD HDDs | 2 Asus GTX660 2GB Ti Cu cards w\SLI | Win7 Pro 64 | REX Full Catalogue | ORBX FTX Full Catalogue | Saitek Flight Control Pro w\Dual Throttle Quadrants+Pedals | 24"+2x19" HP Monitors | 1000W PSU [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Nice aircraft Khalid! Happy Holidays to you! So sad to have real life issues come up during the most Joyous part of the year! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Khalid - I had the military version C-54 in the Olive Drab paint. After seeing yours, I had to search to find a civilian version which I did find the Jen Kristensen's download. Very nice flying aircraft and now I have the best of two worlds when it comes to the DC-4! Thanks - Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
