Waypoint Grudziadz. Final RW 25 at Krakow. Touching down at Krakow. A bit short, missed the displaced threshold. Aircraft is the Ilyushin IL-14 I haven't had any luck finding a LOT Lisunov LI-2 (DC-3 license) Anyone out there that can paint a DC-3 in LOT Livery?

If you search flightsim under "fs2004 files - all files" for "Li-2" you will find repaints for the maam sim DC-3 which works in FSX too, as well as some MALEV and eastern block air force schemes for the default DC-3.
The default fs2004 DC-3 is the basis for the DCA FSX aircraft, so any repaints for fs2004 can find their way into fsx by this slightly backdoor route!
Searching fsx all files throws up a factory demonstrator Li-2 that I have not come across before.

Thanks Allan, but the maam-sim texture didn't work for me. However I found one at avsim.com file name is li2lot.zip
I downloaded the LI-2 Demo for FSX but its not painted for LOT and it doesn't have a 2D cockpit.
So I'm all set with my LOT livery on my DC-3 Airways DC-3.
Thanks for helping me search better.

Departing Warsaw with the Lisunov Li-2 South of Warsaw along the Vistula River Piastow, Poland Note: I had the date set for 23rd December. After this shot I reset it to 23rd June to match the 1963 LOT timetable. Crosswind at Rzeszow Turning final for RW27 at Rzeszow

Passing north of Lodz Powidz Air Base Final for RW25 at Poznan Touching down. I bet the 1963 LOT pilots wish they had GPS!

Lisunov Li-2 (a DC-3 license) departing Poznan. Over waypoint Drezdenko. Approaching Szczecin. On final RW 30. Notice the new improved? panel. I removed the modern radio gauges and autopilot and swapped out the ASI, Altimeter, Rate of climb, Radar Altimeter, Turn and Bank and Two needle RMI for Polish ones from the IL-14. Touching down at Szczecin. How far is the North Pole from here? Merry Christmas to all and to all a good flight!

Pan Am Boeing 377 Strato Clipper "Romance of the Skies" departing from Los Angeles Land Ho! The Big Island of Hawaii just visible ablove the horizon. 130nm from Maui VOR descending from 22,000' to 14,000' 60nm from Maui turning direct to Koko Head VOR Passing Molakai out of 12,000' for 4,800' Koko Head. On right Downwind for Honolulu Intl RW8L Downwind RW 8L Turning Final. This Aircraft is the FS2004 Boeing 377 by Greg Pepper and Tom Gibson. Flight Dynamics by FS Aviator, Repaint by Dave McQueen. I downloaded it from flightsim.com filename b377a.zip and started it up in FSX. None of the gauges worked on the panel so I modified the panel with stock FS Gauges plus gauges found in the JBK DC-4 and the FSDesigns 049 Constellation. Search for Clipper Romance of the Skies for an interesting read on its demise.

This was a training flight from KAGC to KPIT I got a new panel from avsim file name b377panel_set.zip Its for FS2004 but almost all the gauges worked except the HSI and Fuel Gauges. This one has a Flight engineer panel.
