A longtime need fulfilled....

Dave Slatski has uploaded his CFS2 conversion of Kristensen's wonderful C-54.

There are some major problems with the C-54 download.   But see the C-54 Fix thread to make everything work.

   Is there a Berlin airlift 'candy bomber' skin for this bird?  My late uncle was one of the pilots involved who also picked up a DFC in Korea.

There are lots of skins for this plane at FlightSim, but few (very few) military skins.

Hey! you making fun of me? Just because I'm blind in one eye and can't see out of the other one...hmmmm  [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Seriously though, thanks for clearing some of that stuff up TR. I've got a "fix it up" file that will be uploaded very shortly.

BTW, nice job on the aluminum deal there. In the email I received from the author, uploading skins are no problem. Just can't put helicopter blades on it or anything like that.

OMG!  I never thought they'd let you in...you know with that whole sex scandal thing on Fox News and all.  I had to call in a bunch of favors with the powers that be.   [smiley=evil.gif]

Welcome aboard, Slats.....finally.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

......anyway, I'm reliably informed there are a load of re-paints already (plus a Paint Kit) at Flightsim (if you can get in)

........the Paintshop's busy with a few export orders at the moment .........

I couldn't find the paint kit, but now that there's a converted bare metal skin, it would make a nice basis for some repaints.....with a minimum of effort.

Here's a shot of that very aircraft in 1948 landing in Berlin....so she can be used for Korea.  8-)

You did not see many large transports in Korea, as most of the airfields were too short or crude to handle the C-54.   That's why there were so many C-46s, C-47s and C-119s around.

This one is shown ferrying R&R troops from Korea to Japan....the lettering on the fuselage says:

Hey oldwheat and Tango, Nice jobs.
I see TR's is ready for down load....will you be uploading yours here oldwheat?

[Slats]

Here's one of them.


Kinda strange though, there's no mention in the folder of who the author is. Not even a readme.

[oldwheat]

Yes Dave, They fit nicely.  I have CFS2'ised them & toned down the yellow & day-glo colors a tad.  Now to attempt to obtain permission to upload them.
