Beschreibung
This livery is a Douglas DC-3 in a polished aluminium version, without any other markings, except the anti-glare black painting on the nose.
Although Microsoft/Aeroplane Heaven have included a "Pure Metal" livery with their DC-3, I find it to be a bit too dark in my opinion, and the primary flight controls are not as reflective as the rest of the fuselage; so I have tried to make the aluminium look more realistic by modifying the colours and the composite materials of the existing metallic parts, and adding those properties to some new parts, like the propellers and the spinners as an example.
There are two versions available: a Passenger variant (Pax Left Door) and a Cargo variant. Both variants are available with either the classic cockpit or the retrofit (GPS) cockpit. When you click the "Download" button at the top of the page, choose the correct file corresponding to the version that you would like to have.
Please leave a review if you enjoy flying with it! :)
Douglas DC-3 | Polished Aluminium (Pax & Cargo)
Douglas DC-3 in a polished aluminium finish. Although the "Pure Metal" livery is available in the base DC-3 package, I find it to be a bit too dark, so I modified a lot of the textures to make it look more realistic; like a well-maintained and loved DC-3!

Douglas DC-3 | Dakota Norway LN-WND (2011 livery)
This livery depicts LN-WND, the only airworthy norwegian DC-3, flown and maintained by the "Dakota Norway" association. I have re-created the livery that was displayed in 2011 during the Duxford Air Show, however it is very similar to the livery LN-WND was displaying between 2006 and 2011, before it changed to the current one.

Douglas DC-3 | Aigle Azur F-BEFD
Aigle Azur F-BEFD livery for the Douglas DC-3. This is based on the livery painted on F-AZTE (current 'Air France F-BBBE' DC-3) for the 60th anniversary of Aigle Azur, back in 2006, as depicted in the last picture [or the first, if you can make the difference ;)].

It'd be nice if you lost your attitude, but here we are. If you were capable of reading you'd know exactly which model this is for..

Funnily enough, if you would have used the time you took to write that comment to read my description instead, you would have seen that I have mentionned that this livery is for the "Passenger Left Door" version, and that "I might do some other versions in the future if there is demand".
I would have happily made one for you if you would have just asked for it nicely, but this is not the case.

While your model looks nice, and can certainly be any representation you wish, as it is from your creative mind. The control surfaces were not covered in aluminum, and that is why they are represented as they are in the original ASOBO presentation. I agree that theirs is too dark, but as you can clearly see in this actual polished variant, the control surfaces are canvas covered and therefore dull in contrast to the rest of the aircraft. Should you choose to go back to those duller surfaces then you will certainly have a fairly accurate representation. I should add that I also have a few liveries on flightsim.to, as well, that are not quite accurate representations of reality! https://youtu.be/DuKg0O2Naq0

Thanks for your comment; you are indeed correct on the point you have mentioned. I have based my livery on the (rare) pictures of fully polished DC-3 available online, and even though control surfaces are not as polished as the rest of the fuselage, they still look way more polished than in the basic Aeroplane Heaven livery. I agree I could have make them maybe a little less reflective, to make the difference noticeable, but as I created this livery as a "generic" livery (no specific reg), I decided that I liked it better with shinier flight controls.
I may do another more realistic version, if I find the time. :)
