About This File

This is a livery-paint for the Leading Edge Simulations Douglas DC3/C47.

Paint made by Leen "Flybike" de Jager

Photo-research and "mental coaching" by Harvey Stein

Thanks Harvey ,for encouraging me to lay my hands on this fabulous Douglas Sleeper Traveller !!!!

This paint depicts (more or less,within the limitations of the model) the DST , Douglas Sleeper Traveller , wich was in fact an enlarged version of the DC2 , made by Douglas on request by American Airlines. ( round 1935 )

After a production of about seven DST`s the plane was rebaptised and became the name Douglas Commercial nr 3 , the DC3 was born and a new era in aviation started.

So we can say, this is a kinda "Mama-Dakota"

The original model had wing-registration , due to the limitations of the texture-mapping of this model , this could not be reproduced. ( grrrrrrrrr..........!!)

The skin-set includes cockpit and cabin textures as well.

New features : Main wingfairing more visible ( texture and normals) , new right-side passengers-door AND sleper-windows.

How to install:

Just unzip DST-NC28325.zip into a temp. folder , and start reading the readme file.

Enjoy

Just open the obj file with a text editor like Wordpad for Windows or its Mac equivalent.

Making a backup of the file first, might be not a bad idea.

What a beautifu bird, Leen! While all of your DC-3's have been great works, this, in my opinion is your best yet.

Also, it's fitting to have the very first DC-3 represented in the choice of liveries. This is a fine tribute to the creators of the real aircraft and to LES for their superb work.
