The Von Peerhoven's influence


kalizzi

Recommended Posts

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.

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!

That is a beautiful DC-4
+1!

 

That BOAC is really a great shot. But then again, so are the rest!

 

Thanks for your post and your update Khalid! Hope things get less frantic for you next year! "Life" has grounded me a lot lately as well.

 

Happy Holidays and a better 2020 to us all!!

Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

Welcome Back to you too Michael. Hope life is treating you fairly. Yes let's hope 2020 is a kinder year than this one. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

My friends, please check this link to Frank Gonzalez repaints for the Jens C-54 and Dc-4's. The late Mr. Gonzalez made some beautiful repaints for lots of FS planes. http://www.calclassic.com/frank.html.

 

That link you posted is a treasure trouve. I have saved it into the FlightSim folder in my favourites. Thank you Jan. God bless Frank Gonzalez.
