Lost in the Sahara

One my favorite movies is "Flight of the Phoenix" with Jimmy Stewart. His C-119 "Boxcar" was brought down by a sandstorm. I thought I would try to replicate that theme with a DC-3.

Best, Mike ;)

Doesn't one of the c-119 DL's come with the Phoenix?  I have one but I'm not sure where I got it.

I do have Mike Stone's required C-119 USAF for the following textures:

Not sure  how to add texures to the aircraft. I am new at this.

Also the C-124 Provider is a neat aircraft, it was used in the movie "Air America".

It might be neat to have a movie theme of screenshots in the future.

Best, Mike ;)

I do have Windows 7, but still can't open the aircraft cfg. file. Adobe Reader can't open this file. Is there another program that will open this file. Windows 7 is not user friendly.

Appreciate your help. Thanks, Mike

My 'puter crashed a few months ago so I don't have a download that shows where this came from, but it came as part of a C-119 package based on the (new)movie....fortunately I had all my freeware backed up on a external HDD....anyhoo, here's the Phoenix 'reborn':
