C-39 and C-43 Douglas transports

Postby plainsman2 » Thu Jun 12, 2003 5:49 pm

Having emerged from a long dormancy in flight dynamics, I was wondering if anyone might be interested in a collaborative project on a Douglas C-39 (DC2.5) and a C-43 (the same aircraft modified especially for Hap Arnold with more powerful engines). I would supply flight dynamics and help with research. I have no art talent, can't help there.

I dont think anyone is making a C39 or 43...unless they're keeping it under wraps

I didn't think anyone would be working on C-39 or C-43. I just thought the project might spur some interest to start it?? I don't really like the high performance jet models, probably would not be much help with those, as I don't really have a lot of knowledge on their design.

Bob - WHERE THE H*LL have you been hiding?

#1 - Update your Nord 262 dynamics for FS2k2 already will ya!

To any who's reading this, Bob is responsible for the flight dynamics of the original Stits Playboy for FS2000 - one of the few models I've released. ...

Hey Felix,
Good to hear from you as well!!! I have missed your wry or rye wit. I would say I had been hidding under a rock, but everyone knows we don't have any rocks big enough to hide under out here..hehe. I finally got FS2002 some time back, and have been playing with the flight model on a few things. I do notice some of the FS2000 models don't migrate very well into FS2002. I am pretty happy with the results of some tweaking on the Douglas stuff I have tried.
I would be happy to get the Nord dusted off (or just rewritten). BTW, is there a way to post a graph on here? I have really gotten tired of the error in the King Air model on line 404, and no one even caught it in FS2002???
Thanks for the reintroduction! Just don't tell them I am even uglier now. Is Dave still around? I have not heard from him in a long time? I notice his web site is still around.
Bob

To get an image in Simviation, either upload it to your site and insert the url in the form [img]URL[/img].

You can also upload it to Simviation (note the tiny "Upload images" tag in the small blue menu bar way up there ...  and you can set it up... take care to get the upload URL right.

Dave, and other miscreants are still about.  Whenever something strikes his fancy he pops his head out.
