C-47 floatplane "Atlantic Air Cargo" in the Tokelau Archipel (FSX)

The good old MAAM-Sim C-47 on floats (XC-47C) wearing the beautiful classic "Atlantic Air Cargo" livery doing the mail in the tropical Tokelau Archipel. There's a thunderstorm on it's way so we have to hurry......

Thanks very much, I hope you liked the old bird and the scenery :)

GREETS!!!!

Very nice work with this post Jan. I like that scenery as well. :cool: :cool: :cool: :D

Thanks very much Larry :) Scenery is really fantastic, the only thing is the towers on the little airfields are a "bit" overdone...;) (pic 11)

Great shots, Jan! I liked the "old bird", scenery, and the aircraft was great, too! ;)

Very nice float plane you got there. Enjoyed the flight, pictures, and lightening bolts (you have to be quick on the V-key to catch those). Glad you avoided the storm and landed safely. Jim

At least you have the appropriate plane for your skill level Jan. :D Marvelous set of shots, the scenery and C-47 look outstanding! :)

Jan.

 

Great pics.

No fix for those ridiculous looking floats?

 

Beyond ridiculous is a better description.

Allen, it's because I use a livery from a landplane, I tried everything to change it. There's also that strange thing that the lower side of the flaps have yellow marks "left" and right" :eek: But, perhaps it's a good thing the floats look "different", I'll damage new ones the next landing. I think. Thanks for your great comment btw.

 

Jim: It's the FS-9 "White Lightning" file. Works also in FSX, the lightning holds on "longer" so it's easier to catch.

 

 

And thanks Zipster, Jim, Adam and Jan for the kind comments.:):)

Very authentic looking shots, nice!:cool:

Thanks very much!! :)

I did not even know that DC-3s/C-47s could be equipped with floats!!

Nice Scenery Jan, that freeware plane looks very good, and I am noticing you are doing a lot of float planes lately. It took a while to sink in (pun intended) that regular planes do not float.:);)

Very nice looking plane Jan, perfect with floats as well as land. I think it would be fun to fly a real DC-3/C47 on floats. Kenny

Aharon, please watch this:

 

Thanks Bernardo and Kenny for the kind comments :):)

Peer01,

 

Awesome Thanks for providing me VALUABLE education on that. If you had not made those screenshots, I would never know that DC-3/C-47 was capable of using floats!

 

Regards,

You're very welcome Aharon! :)
