    Cathay Pacific Airways DC-6B (VR-HFG) - Image 1

    Beschreibung

    Repaint of Cathay Pacific Airways DC-6B, reg VR-HFG for the PMDG DC-6 addon. 
    You can learn more about Cathay Pacific, and this aircraft on this webstie: http://www.chingchic.com/dc6---vr-hfg.html

     

    The aircraft was first registerd with CATHAY PACIFIC AIRWAYS LTD on 7/FEB/1955 and de-registered, sold out of HKG on 23/DEC/1962 per Civial Aviation Department HK registers. 

    The DC-6B was a game-changer. It was the first aircraft that Cathay Pacific bought new from the manufacturer – it cost HK$6,736,860 – while for those sitting in the cockpit, it came equipped with radar, also a novelty for the fleet at this time. It sent out another signal, too: that Cathay Pacific was about to join the top table of global airlines.

    Created using PMDG's DC6 paintkit. Originally made for P3Dv4.

    This one would be awesome in Flight Simulator 2024.

    Love the livery, unfortunately I still suffer from the "pink control column" even after the latest update :-/ Tried both the ptp file and the Community drop, same result. Doesn't stop me from flying it of course :-P

    Hey. Oh no!


    Some trouble shooting you could do:


    Can you make sure that in your "SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG-DC6B-CPA\TEXTURE.CPA-VRHFG" folder if you see 2 files called:


    PMDG_DC6_YOKE_LOGO_ALBEDO.PNG.ddsPMDG_DC6_YOKE_LOGO_ALBEDO.PNG.DDS.json


    Those 2 files missing is what caused the issue in my original upload. But it was fixed after adding those two, and then updating the "layout.json" of that livery.


    Then I just used the PMDG Ops center to export the installed livery to new .PTP.


    Hope that helps you fix it!

    Fantastic work! Hope to see more versions of Cathay. I remember a green and a grey versions also existed. They are all beautiful~~

    Thanks. It's nothing too great to be honest, but it gets the job done from afar. Hardest part was recreating those Cathay logos since not much high quality source material.



    I plan on doing a white-grey one like on the DC4s at some point. Though idk what you mean by green and gray? Maybe link some images of what you mean? Thanks!

    Ah I see it now. Just bare metal and only green tail. Will look into that :)

    My grey one refers to the bare metal with upper white and middle red line, like this photo: https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1641991

    This bare metal colour was also produced as a 1:400 model too. Just google DC6 Cathay you can see a lot of it.

    The green one is actually your current painting. I figure out your colour is actually green instead of black now, because of the sunset I couldn't see clearly at first. Now your green one is truly classic and beautiful^^

    Yeah thats exactly what I thought of when you said white. Will look into that. I did a bare metal Cathay DC3 for P3D that used similar titling, so should be feasible.



    But the one Linuxmonster above was referring to was this. Seems like an interim paintjob: https://www.airteamimages.com/douglas-dc-6_VR-HFK_cathay-pacific-airways_68565.html

    The interim one looks indeed like an unfinished painting job. We seldom see this one~~
