C-119G Project

[capflyer]

Hi all. My name is Chris, and I'm a flightsim addict....

Wait, wrong speech...

Right one:

I've started work on an update to Daisuke's C-119G, specifically fixing the flight dynamics and updating the panel to something closer to what we have for other airplanes on this site.

I have received permission from Hans-Joerg Naegele (gauge programmer for the Connie team) to use some of his gauges for the basis of this new panel, but I need some assistance with building the bitmaps for both the panel and the gauges as that's an area in which I am sadly lacking skill. I can program the gauges and the flight dynamics and Hans-Joerg's gauges have been a great teacher in that quest.

If anyone is interested in helping me, I have the 1C-119G-1 (aka the USAF "Dash-1") on the C-119 and it is EXCELLENTLY illustrated to show all of the panel layouts and such to be able to create a bitmap from. There is fairly decent resources online for pictures of the C-119 as well for source material.

What I am looking to do mainly is build a C-119G panel that is more in line with the aircraft as post-military civilian transports where they saw more 2-person flight deck crews, but would be willing to do the programming and integration for the original 4-man flight crew (Pilot, Co-Pilot, Nav, & Radio) if the person helping with the bitmaps wants to.

Please contact me either via PM or e-mail if you are interested.

I presume you may already have this and many more, if not look here and scroll to the C119:

Hi Chris,

This is great news ;D

I love the C-119.

There's a free Alphasim C-119 Panel bmp which I've used in the 2D view in my aircraft.

Col - yes, that's one of the photo links I would suggest anyone who's willing to help to look at for examples of colors and such. The diagrams are all in B&W and not "photorealistic" in all cases, so they're not suitable for anything more than knowing which gauge goes where.

Pete - I've looked at that one and the one on Daisuke's. The issue is that the panels aren't complete (no overhead panel(s)), no center pedestal and panels, no side panels, no Nav or Radio Operator panels, etc. So my hope is that someone will be willing to do a complete set of panel bitmaps that are consistent for this project.

I look forward to the end results. I still need to do a tribute 119 to a college professor of mine who passed a few years ago.
