FS9: DC-6 in her Habitat

[HaraldG 559]

With the DC-6 in Alaska, just to prove that I made the journey with the old lady.

 

 

She obviously feels well between her mates:

 

I changed then towards a smaller DC-6 (in state of customizing the paint) and explored Alaska.

Awesome and where did you get Evert AI traffic?

[pinlifter 502]

Beautiful work Harald!  That ol gal still impresses

[HaraldG 559]

Many thanks guys for your kind comments!

 

Aharon, I guess you use a newer sim, so I'm not sure if the AI traffic works for you. Nevertheless I'll provide the source.

1. Download Tom Gibsons DC-6B from http://www.calclassic.com/AIAircraft.htm.

Choose AI File two. Install it into a temporary folder or into a sandbox. Use the HQ model for the DC-6B (you'll find a file named "High Quality readme.txt" inside the A/C folder that explains how to do that). It uses repaints for the flyable model.

 

2. Download all Everts DC-6B repaints from

http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=everts_air_dc6_pack_v1.zip&CatID=fs2004acrp&Go=Search

and install them to the DC-6B AI model. I'm not sure if all these planes are still active.

 

3. The newest AI flight plan for Everts I found was one for 2010. Not very up to date, it contains only eight DC-6Bs. But better than nothing.

If you don't mind having some "ancient" AI, the same works for NAC and Buffalo, too. Not to forget some museal and charter planes like Red Bull or Namibia Commercial Airways.

 

I hope this helps. Have fun!

Fantastic shots Harald!

Great shots of Alaska.

Harald, just letting you know, there is a new AI DC-6/C-118 here in the library. It was made by Jake Burrus and Michael Pearson. The file name is jmai_dc6_traffic.zip.

 

The model includes a whole bunch of paints (including Everts)

Excellent screenies, Harald. And good to see that you made it across the pond successfully  :wink:

[Aharon 606]

GeyerH,

 

Thanks for tips.  I will try to figure out   LOL

 

Regards,

 

Aharon

Thanks Ce_Zeta, Pugilist2 and Bernd (did you really doubt? :smile: ).

 

Joseph, thanks for the info. A new AI DC-6? Crazy, must check. Mike Pearsons AI MiG-fighter play a significant role in my sim...

Sweet set Harald! :Applause:

[HaraldG 559]

Thanks Ed! Yes, I renewed my old love to the twelve prop blades.

[Joseph29 225]

Harald, Mike Pearson and Jake Burrus also made new AI planes of the DC-4/C-54 (jmai_dc4_traffic.zip) and a DC-7 (jmai_dc7_traffic.zip).
