Is there a reason why there are three seperate DC-3 folders? I was going to consolidate them to save hard drive space. If one model is a different size than the others, obviously that won't work.Anyway, thanks for such a sweet airplane.

I'm not at my simming PC at present, but just for starters the two "civil" planes (the passenger and cargo DC-3) will have differences such as the doors that will be reflected in their respective models, and the military R4D has more powerful engines, reflected in the aircraft.cfg file.On balance, keeping them separate makes a lot of sense, and as the bulk of the folder size tends to be the specific liveries (maybe 1Mb for the Model folder, 20-60Mb for each livery) merging the three wouldn't really be saving much room.No doubt when the hundreds of liveries start coming out this may prove to be a good way to start !Cheers,Alastair

*** No doubt when the hundreds of liveries start coming out this may prove to be a good way to start! ***That was exactly the team's thinking, to avoid any confusion about model varieties. New liveries can be added to the respective folder. Repainters should note that most liveries will not be able to be applied to all three models without some modification, as the model design and texture mapping varies considerably.The R4D-6, cargo and passenger models are all different, for a start. Different windows, doors, external aerials, airscoops, astrodome, ADF cones etc. Secondly, the R4D-6 and DC-3 models have different airfiles and AIRCRAFT.CFG settings, being of different power (1830-94 engines of 1350HP in the R4D-6, 1830-92 engines of 1200HP in the DC-3s). There are also panel differences to reflect these settings (although nothing visual) hence the two panel folders. Checklists and reference sheets are different for the R4D-6 and DC-3. The only thing all varieties share is the soundset.We're getting a lot for our money, that's for sure! Particularly, as Jan intends a Wright-engined model in due course and, perhaps, other variations of the Pratt-powered DC-3/C-47.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg

Thanks for the input. I think the show-stopper on combining would be the different aircraft.cfg settings. The cargo and pax models can easily be differentiated, but with different .cfg settings, that's not so easy.

Just as long as Jan isn't thinking of doing that abomination that is the "turbo" DC-3 !!! I know they're still in use in certain parts of the world, and that the turbo engine gives it more "oomph" but, to me, it just doesn't look right !Cheers,Alastair
