Awesome posting, Ron, thanks for taking your time to share this! Cheers, Mark

Hi, I tested Orth4XP recently and managed to compile a sizeable photoreal area with it. I could not get the scenprog component to run though. Did anyone successfully get autogen annotations with it? What does it employ, OSM data or does it analyze the phototiles? Is it supposed to get executed after the DFM processing? Where does it write the AGN files? Sorry for the questions... The parallel instancing of resample does not work! I tried that years ago. Since resample locks resources only one instance can run concurrently. If you can manage to start several instances, all of them wait except the one which gets a time slice for execution. I think it is a very very old code - it opens the file and locks it, reads a small bit, and the writes to the target file, all in very small increments and even seems to wait, doing nothing, this is why it takes forever. I already asked LM to look into an update if possible. If I may I would like to suggest that resampling could be checked before execution (like the download), wether the target file is already present and skip it if the check is positive. 2 Cheers, Mark

Hi guys,the thread is a bit old, but I would like to add my 2ct to this aircraft, which has been my favourite flightsim aircraft for many years now. Lately I went astray - for obvious reasons - and fly mainly the A2A B377 and the A2A Thunderbolt, as well as Aerosofts Catalina. I would like to see my old favourite match the quality and complexity of these products - I would love to reinvest in a new R4D / C-47.My points:- accurate engine model, like in the A2A Accusim types- accurate hydraulic / electrical system- a damage model - status window, like in the A2A aircraft, where aircraft systems / problems are shown (and can be corrected, in necessary, like overhaul an engine)- reworked cockpit with all the switches / systems working- environmental effects like freezing windows / carb icing / need for oxygen above 10k - graphically up to date, inside and out- flexing wings - creaking sounds when the aircraft is stressed (I fly the hump with the c-47.... enough said...)- cockpit windows to open, with wind and noise effectAnd another thing... a rather silly little gimmick, I know... after years and years in this cockpit, looking at the magnetic compass, which is hinged with rubber cords to the cockpit frame... I would love to see this thing wobble in turbulences (I guess it could be done...). As for new types:AC-47 Spooky GunshipC-47 Flare launcher (nice night-effects...)Thanks for this marvellous aircraft! Mark
