    This version includes textures with cockpit, cabin, custom cargo, ground equipment and textures for formation flying.

     

    PS.: As soon as possible I will make this livery compatible with the C-47A version too, at the moment the C-47 seem to be encrypted and not accessible..

    What am I missing? I can't get any ground equipment or troops to air drop. Is that another mod I'm missing? Looks great none the less.

    check if you have multiple folders "DC3-Whiskey7" or similar in the community folder, remove all of them and reinstall, that is the only thing I can imagine is happening with you mate

    Hi mate, it's working fine here, remove the folder from the community folder (see if you have any previous installation) and try reinstaling the livery. Hope it works out!

    My DC-3 has pink cockpit after the world update. Has anyone had this problem? I know the drill, turn off all mods. Is there any short cut then that?

    The liveries in this package represent aircraft of Marine Air Group 25, which flew the RD4-1 (the Marine version of the C-47 and nicknamed the "Flying Boxcar") throughout the Pacific Theater during WWII. MAG-25, as part of the joint Army/Navy/Marine Southern Pacific Combat Air Transport Command (SCAT), was founded in June 1942 and provided rapid transport of personnel and cargo, assault support, and aeromedical evacuation to and from forward areas in support of campaigns ranging from Guadalcanal through the Philippines. These liveries were inspired by aircraft pictures and drawings as provided by the MAG-25 site (https://www.marineairgroup25.com/) and reflect actual wartime aircraft. Many of these were procured from US Army C-47 pools or otherwise pressed into hasty service during the darkest days of WWII and were repurposed for service with the Marines. With scarcely enough time to paint over previous identification marks (which were prohibited by early Naval Air regulations, to include nose art) these aircraft were a mismatched lot and are shown as they would have been seen during their most desperate, and most distinguished service. For the service during the battle of Guadalcanal, MAG-25 was awarded with the Distinguished Unit Citation decoration, and was decativated in 1947 before returning for service during the Korean War.
