I have heard people say that Jahn's DC-3 works in P3D v5 but it won't for me. I've been using the PBR version and I'm pretty sure it's current but not positive. Could someone who has the DC-3 installed on their 5.1 system post the link to the version they are using?

Make sure that you either have the P3D v5 version of the A2A windshield.dll file or that you delete it from the panel folder.

Just tried that and no, I get a CTD when I load the DC-3. 😞

EDIT: I deleted the windshield.dll

Thank you @killthespam, Working like a charm... 🙂

Is there a separate link or file?

@killthespam gave me a dropbox link. PM me and I'll set one up for you too if you pay it forward. 🙂

 

 

 

Link to the Sim Outhouse download.  Link to the A2A windshield.dll file

I couldn't get the Sim Outhouse version to work in P3D v5. Maybe because my system doesn't support PBR? 

Here is a link to the model in Avsim. This isn't PBR but works on my system.

I extracted the c-47 zipfile into my addons directory (P3Dv5 Addons) outside of P3Dv5, than used Lorby's Addonmanager to install the C-47 in P3D. As instructed I deleted the windshield.dll file from the panel folder and up I go in a fantastic looking and flying C-47!

You just need the correct version from SimOuthouse and the correct winshield.dll file.

That does the trick. Now I have 2 versions... 🙂

 

I have both versions running and am having issues with the PBR version. The colors seem too "metallic", if that's the right word, or just odd. I can go with the older non-pbr version but I'm curious. Is this because my monitor doesn't support PBR or is it my settings?

The monitor or settings do not have anything to do with PBR, more it's a method of rendering to provide more realistic looking texturing.

Sometimes it will look really good, other times maybe not so much, depends on developer I suppose.

In anycase you've a choice and can go with either PBR or the non PBR based edition based on your preference.

I read Enviroshade includes options for improving the PBR look, maybe give it a try.

PBR / No PBR, it's a great plane plus the cockpit crew /  stewardess banter is quite funny as is the first officer's song of the c47 lament, heheh.

Here are a few PBRs varying between fairly subtle to full on.
