Discus177 Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) G'day Guys & girls. From here on the latest development images of the DHC-4 Caribou will be on the first post of the thread. So refer to this post for all future updates. I will be removing all earlier build images as they do no way represent the progress made. Thankyou for following, and thankyou for the support! And don't forget, comments and constructive criticism welcome. Edited June 6, 2016 by Discus177
DirtyFret Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 A very promising start, looking good. I for one would welcome a transport/utility plane. I wish you good luck and strong will on this project. Can't wait for more updates from you.

NeilWillis Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Does this mean we'll be getting the B-29 rescue mission too? Broke my heart to see the fire engulf the old girl in the documentary. I have to admit I do love the Caribou. It has everything a great transport needs, and only it's mother could love it's ugliness - just like me! Good luck bringing this to fruition, I don't envy the journey you are embarking upon!

WinterH Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 I find this plane strangely beautiful. If it has somee bush flying capabilities, it may even add some interesting mission making possibities :) Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script

Rangi Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 If you can bring the caribou to dcs I will love you forever. One of my all time favourite aircraft with fond memories of jumping out of them. PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor.
DirtyFret Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 If you can bring the caribou to dcs I will love you forever. One of my all time favourite aircraft with fond memories of jumping out of them. Jumping out from a perfectly good airplane requires a mental fortitude that I would like to posses. I salute you good sir. I really like the idea of a transport/ cargo plane in DCS.

Discus177 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 I'm a fellow aussie myself. But a one man band here. So generally every week i have some substantial updates. Should have the engine nacelle all ready to go this Sunday night. Wether i get there or not I'll post up images regardless!
Stratos Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Spanish Air Force used them as well. So it will be a nice addition, good luck with the project. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Discus177 Posted November 7, 2015 Author Posted November 7, 2015 Thanks mate. Suppose we'll have to add spanish livery to the kit

Discus177 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 Still working away. Started work on the provider while i wait for more detailed images of certain areas i need to take.
Corrigan Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Awesome. Some of the most fun I've had in DCS was without killing anything. A transport plane would be fantastic! Win10 x64 | SSDs | i5 2500K @ 4.4 GHz | 16 GB RAM | GTX 970 | TM Warthog HOTAS | Saitek pedals | TIR5
Angelthunder Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Awesome. Some of the most fun I've had in DCS was without killing anything. A transport plane would be fantastic! Your right,i want to see other military aircraft & helos that don't necessarily bomb or attack targets.I would like to see certain vehicles perform different kinds of missions or tasks.By the way,is this aircraft going to be AI or are you trying to get a 3rd party license by ED to make a EFM/ASM modeled Caribou.
Discus177 Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 Hey bud. Will be talking to ED shortly about what tasks i need to achieve to gain 3rd party certification. Have all manuals and data available for flight modelling. Will be a full module. And once the model is complete and textured I'll release details as to what will be available.

OziRekt Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Don't forget an Australian livery! The RAAF had some for ages. "We carried out many trials to try to find the answer to the fast, low-level intruder, but there is no adequate defense." — Air Vice-Marshal J. E. 'Johnnie' Johnson, RAF Can't charge us all
AG-51_Razor Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Good luck with this project. I would buy it for sure!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Discus177 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 I'm an Australian myself. So the source images I've taken or shoot in the future are ex RAAF birds. So there will be suitable liveries available.
AG-51_Razor Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Discus, just to make sure you know what it is you're modeling, the "glare covers" you are referring to are actually known as "eyebrow lights". They are hinged at the lower corners so that they may be pulled down to allow replacement of the lights housed in the upper corners. These lights are for illuminating the instruments they are located over. Incredibally detailed work you're doing here and, as I said before, I will be one of your first customers! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Discus177 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 Thanks mate! Ill look for underside images to get a better idea myself. Cheers. And thanks for the kind words bud!
Discus177 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Well to those following this development thread. Starting a complete improved. Clean slate. And with someone who saw interest in the project of bringing a transport aircraft into dcs. Who i believe will make this project a reality. I am sure in due course he may show his work. But i would like to make it clear. We have daily duties to attend to. And this will hopefully be worth the wait. So please stay tuned.
