TigerTigerM Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Another freeware that works. This is the Manfred Jahn's team C-47. Although it is quite shiny, I believe its a non-PBR version. Sound & gauges work fine. Flies nicely. The flight was mid morning in Spring. No UTL as yet. I am noticing that currently shots into the sun result in building vertical surfaces appearing quite dark. Orbx HD trees are looking good, IMHO. TTM (P3D v5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a PBR update for this bird that looks phenomenal. Sadly, the SWISSAIR livery (and many other liveries) are not (yet) adapted to the PBR update. Which is a pity, as this PBR dress would look really great on a clean bare metal "paint"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jankees has done a few PBR's. Perhaps you could persuade him to do this one TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s my biggest impediment to V5. I will look for it - I read that someone was using it via a copy & paste of a particular file out of UTL v4.5. I saw AI in a youtube video yesterday. At the moment I am stymied as regards full Orbx load up as I need Simstarter NG P3D to be able to control scenery loads. i5 can't take a full world load.

Nice aircraft. Put the MJ C-47 Non-PBR & PBR versions into v5. Flew the Swiss livery [non PBR] yesterday ok, but Ozark bombed this morning. I think v5 is getting twitchy as more stuff gets loaded in. Hope to get more C-47 flights going. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 My non-PBR C-47s work fine - but if I try loading any of the revised PBR versions into P3Dv5 I get an instant CTD. Anyone here got the PBR variant to work in P3Dv5? Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone here got the PBR variant to work in P3Dv5? Adam. I'll have a look Adam. I found Scenario was dividing my non-PBR C-47's into 2 groups, Group A loaded, Group B CTD P3D before load. I checked the Group B Aircraft.cfg & found a difference in 1 row vs Group A, which I changed, & now the non-flyers are flying. I will look at PBR's & their Aircraft.cfg & see if I can spot something.l TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Just looking at the SOH entry (I was going to re-download it) .. I noticed: - P3D v4.4 and 4.5 PBR compatible only. - A2A rain effect. A2A says the current DLL isn't compatible with P3Dv5 - so must be renamed (or deleted). I already did that for my A2A aircraft (all work beautifully). So ... guess what ... that did the trick!!!

TigerTigerM Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Thanks I will check that out. I've just found I'm missing Thumbnails for the PBR C-47's so may need to reload etc. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
