Goran_M Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 For the last couple of months, my work on the Saab has been mostly organising various areas, acting as consultant to Cameron (for programming) and typing up the documentation.The documentation is just about done but I need a 100% working version of the Saab so I can finish it and Cameron is continuing that side of things.So in between that and a couple of other things I have going, I have continued work on the DC-3 and this serves as a formal announcement that this will be the next project Theo and I will continue with while the Saab is being finished.With that, here are the first few screenshots: (I know of the mesh issues. As usual, all will be fixed)EDIT: Uploaded to Flickr.
karingka Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Looks nice! Personally, I don't like the aircraft choice, but she still looks wonderful!
samen Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Goran any chance you can upload the screenshots to some other web hosting service than imageshack. All I get is a frog on ice EDIT: Thanks for changing that. It looks absolutely wonderful!
Xflyboy2 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Being a DC Airways pilot I'm really looking forward to this!Looking good!
Simmo W Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Looks great Goran, with authentic sounds (splutter, wheeze!) it'll do well. Nice to hear some non-CRJ news too :-)I'll already request an ultra-worn texture version please, to reflect the age of some of the ones still flying!
dan Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 I'm glad you decided on this one. Looks very nice so far! ;D
Pete_SMS Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Looks great Goran! This is a type of aircraft I really like
eaglewing7 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Looks great Goran, with authentic sounds (splutter, wheeze!) it'll do well. Nice to hear some non-CRJ news too :-)I'll already request an ultra-worn texture version please, to reflect the age of some of the ones still flying!I'll second that, and with an included Buffalo Airways paint, maybe C-FLFR?Great looking aircraft, even though it is only in the mesh stage. What I'd love to see is a piston pounder like the DC-3 modelled to perfection with all of the quirks and oddities included. Also, Goran, would you be interested in some DC-3/C-47 manuals?EDIT: Just found some excellent cockpit shots of some of the Buffalo birds, showing how they have been semi modernized...http://www.airliners.net/photo/Buffalo-Airways/Douglas-C-47A-Skytrain/1926582/L/http://www.airliners.net/photo/Buffalo-Airways/Douglas-C-47A-Skytrain/1846306/L/http://www.airliners.net/photo/Buffalo-Airways/Douglas-C-47A-Skytrain/1772177/L/http://www.airliners.net/photo/Buffalo-Airways/Douglas-C-47A-Skytrain/1692907/L/
Goran_M Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Posted May 29, 2011 Thx for the feedback, guys.I'm juggling a couple of projects atm but this one shouldn't take long at all.
hobofat Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Been looking forward to a good model of this plane for a long, long time! Glad you are undertaking it.
MaidenFan Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Wow Goran, that looks great! I can't wait for this one. And please, make it looks like it is 70 years old. Textures, textures and more textures! ;D
Goran_M Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Posted May 30, 2011 Theo is getting very eager to texture this one. I've paid for some high resolution texture sets a few days ago and Theo is very happy with how they look.Here's a little sample of the cabin seat.

ATRB72457 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 I'll just add my voice to this thread too. This looks fantastic. I'm absolutely elated we'll be seeing a DC-3 of this quality in XP. Truly an iconic aircraft.

Textures, textures and more textures! ;DOoh yeah guys! Love that seat already.But God, are all those dc3 interiors that phlegm-green? I really hope not. Would keep the pilots awake I suppose.

Would keep the pilots awake I suppose.Wait til you see what other textures we plan on adding. All based on real DC-3's
Gjalp Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 so Im guessing it will be slightly better quality than Heinz's DC3? really looking forward to this one.....reaaaaallllllyyyyyyy looking forward to it Slainte,Andy - DC3 fan
Goran_M Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Posted May 30, 2011 so Im guessing it will be slightly better quality than Heinz's DC3? I'll leave that opinion up to the reviewers and customers.
Gjalp Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 dont know about reviewing.....but I'll definately be a customer, as I have already been Looking forward to the usual updates on this one.....I love piccies Great to hear that Theo is on the ball already in regard to the texturing.....with "T" on board I know it will be a visual feast for the eyes!!!!Slainte,Andy
Goran_M Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Posted May 30, 2011 I spend my days on my day project. This is my night project.Theo's going to hate me.
Xflyboy2 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 My dream plane is finally coming to fruition!Can't wait to do some hauling!Looking fantastic, the money spent on those textures was well worth it!
-TheoGregory Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 That seat was actualy hand textured. The new metal texture set he brought will definitely be used for more metal things. I.e exterior and panel.
