Livery was done by Andy190 a Simviation Member and available right here at the Simviation Download Site... Smiley

Bojote's Tweaking and Tuning Tool used.

Frame Rate in Game was set at 24 althought it was recommended the Frame Rate should be set to unlimited.

FRAPS left ON and remained close to the 24 for most of the hour.

Antialiasing is ON although it was suggested OFF was where it should be set.

Thanks Andy... Smiley

C ANDY is almost in the livery of the real DC3's, DAKs and C47s I used to fly.

Spent a good many many hours from the left front rocking chair looking at wilderness, water, storms and the beautiful Northern Lights... Wink

Probably sixty percent (60%) of my simulated flying time is done on the two liveries you did for us (me... Grin).

Sure would like to see a DeHavilland of Canada DHC-3 P&W R1340 Otter in all configurations (wheels, wheel/skis, floats, amphibian) designed for Microsoft FSX.

Freeware or Payware would not matter to me... Wink

The FS2004 Otter Guages do not work well in FSX.

Again thanks Andy.    Wink

Thanks "bass"... Wink

Always good to hear from you.... Smiley

Yes it took some time and patience to download everything and I think the shots show as well as the previous installation.

I have only done the one simulated flight which the above pictures are from and I believe it was just about fifty minutes, not quite a hour.

The machine did crash or shut down FSX just after the last shot/picture and I got the Microsoft Error saying Microsoft was checking into the problem.

I just shut down FSX at that point and have not had time to do another simulated flight yet.

Not sure what the problem is but it was just when I took the last shot/picture which never showed up.

Back and lookin' great, Doug Wink
The second shot is outstanding.......I like the bloom from the car lights Cool 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"
