Any word on the prgoress of updating these 2 marvelous planes to FSX?

If you did not catch the Press Release on the front page here at Avsim or elsewhere, here it is:http://www.maam.org/flightsim/news/9th_ed/9th_ed.htmIf you don't want to read the whole thing, or look at all those nice screenies, the quick and dirty is that this edition adds the 6 "All Theaters" C-47s and the Danish Dakota Friends C-47 OY-BPB to the previous stable that included the original R4D, UAL, BEA, XC-47s, and D-Day C-47s of the 8th Edition.There is nothing new - that is, these were already available as free enhancements to CD owners. It's just our SOP of including the latest freebies when a new burn of CD's is needed at the museum.So why all the hoopla? Hey, pres…

One more for the road. Ok... for the carrier. http://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip2/tbmwip0183.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip2/tbmwip0187.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip3/tbmwip0188.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip3/tbmwip0189.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip3/tbmwip0190.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip3/tbmwip0191.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip3/tbmwip0192.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip3/tbmwip0193.jpgAnd this concludes our TBM update journey for today. You bet your bottom dollar there will be more to follow in the next couple weeks. We're not letting her gather anymore dust now! :-cool Cheers,Jan :-wave

Here's a first setup of the full 2D panel,there will be a landing version as well, and more. Almost no original gauges yet,mind you:http://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip1/2dpanel02.jpgYanking that red lever on the right underneath the main panel will activate the wing spreading: http://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip1/tbmwip0175.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip1/tbmwip0176.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip1/tbmwip0177.jpgNavy 314 clear to taxi to the runway:http://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip2/tbmwip0178.jpgGear up:http://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip2/tbmwip0179.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip2/tbmwip0180.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip2/tbmwip…

Hi Folks,It's been quiet around our TBM project for long enough,hasn't it.. Happy to tell you we're finally back at it almost at full throw now. Here's a bunch of WIP screenies of the external model for you to take a peek at if you like. Only about half finished, that goes for the textures too but she's alive now so without any further ado here we go with slide show.A brisk day at the virtual Mid Atlantic Air Museum, all's still pretty quiet : http://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip1/tbmwip0171.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip1/tbmwip0172.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/~maamdev/tbmwip1/tbmwip0173.jpgSuddenly the quietness is vigorously broken by the distinctive roar of a 14 …

Hello,my new 'Buffalo Airways' repaint is more or less finished :) :http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q108/Ti...-3/buffalo1.jpghttp://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q108/Ti...-3/buffalo2.jpghttp://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q108/Ti...-3/buffalo3.jpghttp://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q108/Ti...-3/buffalo4.jpgHope you like it :)I think I can upload it at the end of the week.GrettingsTim

Not sure if anyone can help.I'm trying to do a repaint for my VA using the supplied paint kit. The standard of my livery contains a 'swoosh' that goes right up the side.Now in order to do this, I tend to make a mock-up of the whole side fuselage, place a layer on with this artwork, and then cut it back up again.The problem I have with this, is that I can't seem to get the front, rear and tail to line up on the supplied files.Hope someone can help me out with this please. I want to add this great model to my existing lineupThanks

Hello,Bob Rivera has created some great new prop textures for the amazing Maam-Sim DC-3 :) :http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q108/Tim-HH/maamshot.jpgYou can find the download HERE Thanks Bob!:-wave GreetingsTim

Hey guys...I'm not trying to be an AH or anything. Can you tell me if anyone at MAAM has ever experienced the non-starting engine problem? It's one thing to have to pull little tricks to get them to start...and I'm OK with that. I don't chase my FPS lock...if I'm at an area which renders greater than 30 FPS I just open a new, small Spot View window (I never see it because it's hidden behind the Overhead ;-) ) and start away. But I get the impression (and I might be wrong) that NOBODY at MAAM ever experiences this problem...at locations which render greater than 30 FPS? Are you "testing" on the same "Company" computer...or on your own (I bring this up because of possible g…

Hi guys,I have the FS2002 R4D-6 CD. Several years ago when FS2004 came out I updated the R4D-6 to FS2004, I think by an online download. Anyway, last week I had to re install my MS XP operating system and in so doing lost my well worn FS2004 R4D-6. What must I do to regain the FS2004 R4D-6 aircraft to my FS2004 "hanger"?Keep your Mach up,Smilinjack

I have the Briefing Time B-25J working well in FSX with the 2d panels. I also setup several camera views. My problem is that I can't get the VC to display at all. It is in the panel.cfg and all the gauges are in the panel folder. Any help to get the VC to work sure would be appreciated.Thanks, regards, Bob.

Just wondering if there will be one ...This aircraft is absolutely one of my favorites because of the quality you guys at MAAM put into this thing.Thanks

Hi Folks!I want to edit my C47A's panel and I've problems with it. I can't find the texture for the 2D overhead panel, which is activated with SHIFT-5.I want to remove the instrument lights markings "red" and "white".Does anybody know, where I can find this texture? Thanks a lot!Regards, Hans

Hi Folks!Does anybody know a smoke-system for the C47A/DC3, which is activated, if the power is set up to 65% ( just an example)?I really try hard to find something, but I wasn't successful yet.Thanks for help and answers!MFGHans

I am planning on trying out my sim with Wideview. I have two pcs, two monitors and a projector and wish to put the two minitors with captains panel on one, engine instruments and autopilot on the other. The magnification toggle works a treat for the flight panel but the other I would like to magnify too. Ideally the quadrant would be deleted too of course as I use a PFC item. Has anybody done this already? With all this and my two original DC3 cockpit seats, magneto switches and overhead switch panels I could be well on my way to an "Ego" room :) :) :)

Hi crew,I havent been here for quite some time but I still fly and love this old DC 3,in fact I could delete all the other aeroplanes and just use it as a DC 3 sim :7 I remember flying your first one from Barcelona to Palma Mallorca with FS 98. It took me about 7 hours to download over the telephone line :-sun1 , but the joy of flying that wonderful old Gooney Bird with an amazing panel and a sound package which was unbelievable ! I remember thinking then - it can

I would really like to know, if it is possible, the steps to install the DC3 and Mark's wonderful IFR panel into FSX?Thanks a lot,Howard

I installed the MAAM DC3 manually and she flies all right but there are no gauges in the panel.Just to make sure I'm not missing a step, this is what I did:All DC3 versions go into into >>FSX/SimObjects/AirplanesAll gauges go into >>FSX/Gauges All effects into >>FSX/EffectsAll sounds into >>FSX/SoundI checked the Panel CFG and it doesn't alias to an unknown folder as far as I can tellTIA

Hi all,I'm setting up my new TripleHead (3x20")/TrackIR 4 solution (!) and thought it would be nice to start using the updated VC that is available on the C47s. But I find that I have gotten lazy and too used to the fabulous DCA IFR panel mod (dcamaam4.zip) that is available for the original version.Have anyone tried to tweek this for the C47? Is this easy/hard/impossible?Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the matter!Best regards,Timian

Does anyone know how to activate the non-existent NAV/GPS switch in the cockpit of the B25j? It seems to me some time ago I stumbled upon the solution, but since then I have forgotten what it was....Thanks,RonQ.

Hello,just one screenie of the amazing Maam-Sim DC-3 :-) :http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/4403/dc3ut7.jpgHope you like it :DGreetingsTim

I just got this bird but everytime I try to load her up I get thiserror "GUAGESMAAM_B25.GUA. If I try to open that file in the guagesfolder I get a message that file is not responding. Also, when I get the guage error at startup it freezes the whole PC and I have to reboot. :(

HelloWas thinking of picking up your great DC-3 package based on some reviews and recommendations. Had a couple of questions, however:1) FSX. From reading the other posts in this forum, it seems like you are committed to making the DC-3 product compatible with FSX. Will there be an additional charge associated with this upgrade? Since FSX's release is so close it would not make much sense to get it now only to have to pay for it again come FSX. I'm assuming that the FSX upgrade will be mainly for compatibility only? And that perhaps later on a built-for-FSX DC-3 product (taking advantage of new FSX features) may or may not come out (which would probably be a separa…

Is the MAAM DC-3 FSX ready, if so what do I need to know to install it there? George "Alky

What is "dc3_ual_medium-Y.mdl", as compared to "dc3_ual_medium.mdl"? Vic
