Hi folks, the LDR C-119 Boxcar and Tanker have been released. This is a native FSX aircraft but it works perfectly in P3D from v3.0 up to v5.3. In versions beyond 5.3 there are the usual issues of FSX aircraft in those versions and so the Boxcar is not recommended beyond v5.3.

The release details and links to the downloads can be found here: https://sim-outhouse.org/sohforums/threads/ldr-c-119g-boxcar-released.166167/

Enjoy! :ernaehrung004:

Here's a few tips for you new Boxcar jockeys:

1) Read the manual as there are some very important bits in there.
2) Turn on the ASI 'bugs' as they really help especially on approach. If you 'keep the needle in the bug' by adjusting the throttles on descent you will fly a perfect ILS approach every time. I have had a perfect 'auto land' situation twice during testing where I didn't turn off the auto-pilot until after I was on the ground!
3) For short runways when you are heavy you can use either the Water Injection/WEP switches on the pedestal or the JATO if you have it displayed. You can even use both at the same time for extra 'umphhhhhhhhhhhhh'!
4) Read up on how to use the reverse props feature to get stopped in a hurry on short strips! It uses the same methodology as jets and once you've engaged reverse mode (shown by the horizontal 'barber pole' on the engine gauges) advance the throttles to max. to get full reverse thrust. Make sure you get out of 'reverse' before stopping though otherwise you run the risk of pulling a 'wheelie' with the rear doors on the deck and your nose in the air! DAMHIKIJDOK! :dizzy:
5) Test out the 'slow start' feature at least once. Roman put in hours of work to perfect that sequence and it is a joy to watch from the outside! Use the pop-up electrical panel for controls.

Enjoy!
