kalizzi Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I have downloaded the FSX update of Jens B. Kristensen's DC-4, by Bob Chicilo. She seems like a very graceful lady and handles really well. The model is well polished and the VC and 2D cockpits are excellent for a freeware. I took the C-54 for a trip to Alaska and took a couple of shots approaching Juneau to land. I was wondering which freeware model is the best, I am asking your opinions, folks, including Jan the ultimate authority on the DC-4 on here. Best wishes.

Downwind66 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Khalid - I was looking at your pics of the DC-4, I asked myself, those pics look familiar, so I got my download out, took off and something didn't look right! The cockpit glass was dark, there were no props spinning, looked very dark inside the (4) cowlings AND then i looked at your pics and I knew then, I had done something wrong when I downloaded the aircraft several weeks ago. Dummy me, I failed to add the "shared folder" files to the military texture folder. I hadn't flown this big bird since downloading it. I was working hard trying to improve the panel (only 1 multi Tach and 1 multi MP for a 4 engine aircraft). Come on! Anyway, got my textures resolved and here are my pics: This definitely is a nice flying bird! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for replying back! Rick :cool: Thank you Rick, what a relief I was like phew. What triggered me to load and try this baby is an awesome old book I started to read, entitled "Fate is the hunter" by Ernest K. Gann! This book is dangerously addictive. That is, of course, added to love story Jan has with this ship. Best wishes. K.
