Downwind66 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Wow, Jan, that is a beauty! I love the polished aluminum. Really is nice, but what a bear to keep it that way! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Thanks Zippy and Rick for polishing my DC-3. Much appreciated! :cool::cool: I was just a young kid and my Grandfather showed me how to polish his bare metal Cessna 180. That was my Grandfather, though! I'll be damned if I am going to be polishing a bare metal DC-3, and that you can take to the bank! :rolleyes: Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalizzi Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I was just a young kid and my Grandfather showed me how to polish his bare metal Cessna 180. That was my Grandfather, though! I'll be damned if I am going to be polishing a bare metal DC-3, and that you can take to the bank! :rolleyes: Rick :cool: I think they get on scaffoldings and use power tools to polish so much area. I have seen various drill attachments that do a wonderful job of polishing, such as cloth discs and fluffy spheres. In my humble opinion its not so much as a difference between you and your grandpa, as the difference between the size of a Dakota and a Cessna 180. If I owned a Cessna 185 I would polish her adoringly any time. I did hear however, pilots claiming that they get up to 10 knots extra airspeed for the same power setting with a polished ship.

ColR1948 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Jan, I have this aircraft but it is showing the the props as black disks, I've tried the copy and paste from other similar aircraft but that is not working. I also tried the tutorial on here of how to edit the alpha, it tells you to use MS Paint as the editor but in Win10 it seems different to the instructions. So how did you get the props to show as they do? Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Col - You said you tried "Prop Spin" files from other aircraft. My C-47 has a file in the texture called Prop_DC3 and all is good. I read one post from someone, who had the same experience and he got a file from a Howard 500 and it worked? Hope you find a fix!

ColR1948 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hi Rick, Thanks I'll have a look, I tried various props that work on other aircraft but for some reason they showed the black disk on this. I've had this before on other aircraft and the copy and paste normally fixes it. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Colin, I think you have an FS9 C-47 installed? :confused: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hi Jan, It says V3.12 Beta, I'm under the impression it's for FSX the textures are DDS, or am I wrong? Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Col and Jan - I really don't know if that (FS9 vs FSX) is what is causing the black disks, BUT, Jan, I have that C47 which is the bare metal C47 with the long range tanks in it, and my C47 works fine. It is an FS2004 download, and if Col, chose to do so, maybe he could download that, and maybe copy the prop spin from it, and have a second C47 to boot! Download file name is c47_5tk.zip on this site's library. Just trying to offer a possible solution. Here is my C47: Rick :cool: Edited July 2, 2019 by Downwind66 File name incorrect, sorry!

ColR1948 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Yep, I tried that too earlier thinking it was the model. I just tried it with the Howard props but still the black disks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Yep, I tried that too earlier thinking it was the model. I just tried it with the Howard props but still the black disks. Sorry, Col, I typed the incorrect file name on my download, "My Bad!" I edited the post, so the correct one appears! You know, I have seen the fix somewhere for this same problem, do you think I can remember where? NO! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hi Rick, Yes I saw a thread with a fix, if its the same one it refers to DTXBmp and then selecting MS Paint as the editor. I did that but my MS Paint doesn't seem to have what the instructions say, I am on Windows 10 so maybe they changed it slightly. My normal editor in Paint.net I had a look in that but to be honest I'm not to familiar with editing alpha files. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
