Has anyone did a conversion of the C-46 available here to full FSX native? It's quite nice in FSX as is, but it could be much better with bump maps and specular textures.

I don't believe that anyone has asked Libardo and I for the source file, so I doubt it.

I don't believe the source files would be necessary, just permission if it was to be uploaded anywhere. Apparently there's a program out that will allow the user to convert a FS2004 aicraft to FSX native. Working with some others, we just finished a project that converted the former payware AlphaSim F-80 to FSX native and I'm pretty sure the guys working on the models didn't have the source files. We were talking about a follow on project and I did kind of mention the C-46, but the others are more into jets so that suggestion didn't go far.

Yes you can use ModelConverterX, but it's somewhat simpler with the source files. Frank's C-46's are now available, BTW.

Thanks Tom for uploading Frank's C-46s! After several years of mucking about with other propliners, I've got to where I prefer to fly the ol' Commando. Cargo usually doesn't scream bloody murder after one of my landings.....
I've reworked my personal one to use the DC-6 gauges from here and I reworked that outstanding DC-6 sound set to a twin engine for the C-46. I'm always looking for something new to do to it. (keeps me out of the bars & other assorted troubles)

I have no problems flying C-46s in FSX.
Why not join Buffalo Airways virtual airline which offers you customized FSX version of C-46s?
Regards,
Aharon

Thanks for the offer Aharon, but I get enough "work" from the virtual charter Merc Air.
