Was able to download yesterday, but won't get it loaded or flown until this weekend. Want to thank everyone on the team for these great birds. I'm sure I will be very pleased with them.

To Manfred, Gman, TuFun, and all the members of the dev team..........words can't express my appreciation for what you've done for the community so....!!!!!!!!!

Good grief you are right. Now it seems the SOH community acts as beta/alpha testers as well... Anyway, here is a quick fix. I will ask the librarian to also update the base pack if possible.

Thanks Don!

I just downloaded and installed the C-47, it looks great. The cockpits is working in this install.
The issue comes with the MJ C-47 Texture Basepak. The planes show up in the menu and work in game.
On some of the planes the inside cockpit panel is black, not placards, paint nothing, just the toggle switches and gauges.
What did I do?
The texture.cfg file, inside the additional texture forders, points to either the texture.clean and texture.weather folder. I assume the textures for the VC are missing in one of those folders, or perhaps even both.
The easiest way to correct this is to copy the files inside the texture folder into the texture.clean and texture.weather folders and select no when your computer asks you whether you should overwrite the files.
I hope this makes some sense
Cheers,
Huub
Thanks Huub, I have the same issue and just knew it was something I did wrong.
I have to add my voice in gratitude to Manfred, gman and all for creating this fine aircraft and sharing her with all of us.
Best regards,

The black textures indicate that there is no file for the sim to paint the object with.
Try re-installing the basic file from Manfred Jahn without my texture pack. Test the airplane in FSX and verify that everything displays correctly. Boot out of FSX and add my texture pak. Boot back into FSX and you should be good to go.
If not let me know here.

Heartfelt thanks to Manfred and the whole team!
I have a strange problem with the sound in the Virtual Cockpit. (Sound.cfg is aliased to the stock DC-3). When I pan left, right and down, I can hear the appropriate sound track. But when the view is dead centre or up, complete silence. This is with wireless headphones - I will check with my speakers.
[Update: Same thing with the speakers]
It's as if the left and right channels are inverted, or cancelling each other out. Or, as if the sound files are missing a centre channel
This is the only FSX plane on my system that has this problem. [update: Just tried the stock Beech Baron 58 twin. No such problem.]
Has anybody else seen this?
G,
I assume the textures for the VC are not in your texture.clean and texture.weather folders. As the texture configuration files in your additional texture folders does point to eithre the clean or weathered version, it can not find the textures for the VC. When I read Steven190's post correctly he only has problems with the textures form the base pack.
Cheers,
Huub
The C-47 you did is a real treat to start up thanks to the new sound set, and handles like a dream in the air. I have only had a few short flights but I am enjoying each from start to stop.
Thank you for the great investment of time and thought that you put into this plane. I am grateful.
good flights, Cal

No worries Huub, I'll clarify here so folks can get an idea of the syntax.
The texture folder has a series of files for the VC including the panel, side panels, seat walls etc. Those are specific to the generic airplane. The texture.clean and texture.weathered files each have their own specific files for their respective cockpit components. The texture.cfg file in each individual aircraft texture file will point that aircraft to it's specific interior. The stock texture from Manfred Jahn has a perfect clean interior with perfect blue seats. My texture.clean file has a clean cockpit with light wear and gray blue seats. The texture.weathered file has the worn cockpit with the leather seats.
If anyone gets into trouble with their install, it's easy enough to fix. Just delete everything and re-install the Manfred Jahn C-47 and then install my skins, or other skins from JanKees or other painters after the initial install. This seems to be the best method.
For the first flight, be sure to fly the DAK with only the first MJ pak installed to verify the engine startup and other custom features of the airplane. If you have installed TuFun's sound pak, verify that the sound is correct. Once everything checks out, the skins packages should be a simple drag and drop with the normal mods to the aircraft.cfg.
This is a sophisticated package regardless of the fact that it is freeware. The install should be straightforward, but care should be taken to ensure that you receive all of the benefits of the work that went into the old girl.

wow, excellent screenshot!
You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
For MFS paints go to flightsim.to
Will the V1.2 repaints work with the new V2 release of the C47 and same question for the C-117?
I would imagine that a little modification/edit would be required in the aircraft.cfg file to match entries of the other V2 liveries.
Thanks
For the C-47 V2, paints created prior to Oct 2013 will have to be adjusted on sheets _1_T and _1_T_spec (conversion kit in basepack). And yes, [fltsim] sections in aircraft.cfg need to be adjusted as well, following the pattern of the reference aircraft.
For the C-117 paints created prior to V2 should basically be OK, compare chenges made to the reference paint USN_17191.
Hi,
I posted this to the discussion thread for the C47 V2 but it looks like I put it in the wrong spot and can't delete it so I'm re-posting it here.
Great looking airplane! :salute:Thanks... However it won't start.
I printed out the Engine Start Procedure and followed it to a tee, but the engines still won't start. Not even a putt, flicker or spark of life.
Ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Alan

Thanks to all that made this an outstanding success.

Is there a way to adjust the exterior camera spot view magnification? If I zoom back it looks like a wide angle camera shot.
