Any PDMG is great (NGX, MD-11 and JS-41 Carenado GA REX+overdrive to give me great cloud textures and good real time weather Orbx Scenery is a must.

Thanks for the update! Installation worked like a charm.

Wow! Stunning shot. Looking really forward to this aircraft!

Great shots, Henning. Were those pics taken at Eros?Here are some pics I took in 2004 at an airshow, as I wanted to make a repaint for the CalClassic DC-6.

This is fantastic news. This one is definitely for me! Would be great to see the "Bateleur" livery!

Sorry, that wasn't my intention. If you refer to the manual (of version 8.6) on page 54 you will find the procedure for setting up the PMDG flightplans.

FSC is really great. You need to poin the first option in the Flightplan tab of FSC to your FS aircraft folder. That does the trick for me. don't change the second option. You are absolutely right. I was thinking FSC 8.6. It was changed in Version 9.

Did you set the path in FSX to the flightplans folder in PMDG?[your settings] [path to Flight Simulator X]\PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS I never had any problems with FSC 8.6 nor with Version 9.

That might be true to gain some performance. But from the point of view of repainting, by downsizing textures you will definately loose detail. The panel lines and rivets and espcially the finer details of a repaint will get fuzzy. We have seen this with the Lancair project. The Low res textures were lacking vibrance and detail. There is a reason for high res textures ( but as you correctly stated not for low end machines), otherwise McPhat would not up their textures to 4096x4096. I do not want to spark a debate, but these are my experiences from doing numerous repaints with all kinds of resolutions. I just need to have a look at the Feelthere Caravan(1024x1024) I did and compare them to the HD textures from Carenado, there is definately a huge difference.

Have you got any pictures or refences to them?Thanks.

I anticipated the release of this Version and immediately bought when I saw it was released.Installed it and fired FSX up and loaded the Cargomaster. I thought I did something wrong with the install and reinstalled. The VC is incomplete. Part of the Pilot's seat is missing and the whole pedastil. See screenshots. Then I fired up the passenger version and low and behold nor probs there.I found that the doors issue is still not fixed. I can only open the pilot's door. the pop up window does not work for me either.Paying 10 $US for this is not acceptable. I would not be as peeved if it would have been a free upgrade.I appreciate your help in this matter. Thanks.

Th inverter is just above the the throttles.

I already had a look at this one and even downloaded some photos. This is actually a Cargo version, they have just painted the windows. This can unfortunately not be done in this Passenger model. When Carenadoo however brings out the Cargo version, one can include these black windows in the repaint. I'd love to do here, but with my beta testing and other repaints, currently it would not be possible. If you are patient, who knows :(

Thanks Bill, it looks really great. Downlaoding.

I have replaced my avionics with the Simflyer GNS/GMX and RXP FlightlineT. Popup windows work as well. Just have to disable the 3D knobs.

I always use F2 for reversers. NumLock has no effect on that.

I have noticed that too.

Stunning worl, Bill. Need to try my hand at this one too. Bit tricky that paintkit, but nevertheless great. BTW thanks for repainting video ;)

A very good question!

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry to bother you Bill. Do you use the standard white template provided by Carenado, or have you created your own PSD template for this bird? If so would you opart with it and share it with me/us? Much appreciaed if you do.

Using Win7x64 and FSX SP2. The main door opens but none of the other. I am using the doors panel. No matter whitch option I chose the pilot door opens, when selecting the passenger door or any other the pilot door closes.

These are the normal keys to switch between instrument views. On the menu Views>Instruments you'll see these options.

I also have the same problem with opening the doors from the panel. I don't have TrackIR. I'll give your suggestion a try, but I still maintain that this has to be fixed.Thanks for your suggestions.

Lovely repaint, Bill.I spent some time with the paintkit and had quite a few challenges myself. I don't understand why they have flipped the middle section horizontally. It would be great, if Carenado would supply a PSD paintkit.
