Alphasim/Virtavia DHC-4 Caribou. It's an FS9 portover, but the only problem I have found is the prop issue, and I just could not resist after watching the video Doug posted.

Fill 'er up please. Roll Eyes

Thanks for looking.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Ohhhhhh......me so jealous Tongue

Very cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

$19 for KORS until 4/7/11, as well as all their other NA Blue products.
Caribou was $25.

That Caribou is awesome......unfortunately, I have to get Pacific Fjords first. It's my missing link Wink

BTW, is there a way to fix the prop issue ?

FSX, we've come a long way baby! Skunk Works is an official alias for Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs (ADP), formerly called Lockheed Advanced Development Projects. Skunk Works is responsible for a number of famous aircraft designs, including the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-117 Nighthawk, and the F-22 Raptor. Its largest current project is the F-35 Lightning II

I think there must be Chuck, as A2A did it with the Mustang, and I think there are a couple more out there that have. But you would probably have to have the original files and apparently,

some designers have no idea how to do it. The Cessna 337/O2 is one of my favorite aircraft and FSD did a great job with it. But they did not fix the prop. The difference between them and

Alphasim/Virtavia, is that you are made aware of it with the Caribou. FSD kept it a secret. Angry

For me, it really makes a difference when the designer tells you up front there is a problem.

All are great shots Larry but #1 is amazing. Is it not possible to rename a FSX native prop texture from a plane with similar props and just replace the existing texture. After backing up of course. Wink

It seems like I remember someone here doing that with another plane but I could be mistaken.

Thanks Mike.

I think I read that somewhere, but I forgot about it and never tried it. Need to do that.
Edited:

I tried it Mike, no go. The OV-1B works so I used it. The OV-1B is an extended .bmp while the Caribou is .dds. I first tried it by saving the OV-1B as a .dds. When that did not work, I tried saving it as a .dds and it still did not work. Seems like it should have worked, I'm really confused now. Undecided
