Perhaps because the default one is already really good, so I don't think we'll see any freeware alternative soon.

There's one, payware, for FS9 I believe...
 
Of course, a payware quality DC-3, like Accusim, would be totally great.
But for freeware... I just don't feel the need for it, because the default one pleases me a lot :jump:

Try a search at Avsim for "as4sumjejm.zip" which includes several upgraded default models.

Edit: Nevermind, file not available anymore at Avsim..
 
What about MAAM's R4D / C-47 / DC-3? Ok, it's not native FSX, and needs some tweaking, but I still like to fly that one. Graphicwise it looks a little outdated, but I think it is superior to the default FSX version. I've been using this for many years now, almost from the beginning, when they first released it.
MAAM seems to work on a completely new, native FSX DC-3, but it will not be before the years end until they release it.

A accusim DC-e would be a blast, without doubt!!


Cheers,
Mark


PS: these pictures I have attached are three year old and FS9 (except the hump C-47).

That's too bad, I was hoping that someone would reskin the default DC-3's VC. Maybe some shinier bare metal textures more in line with the default P-51. I'd be all over it.

FSX Douglas DC-3 Awesome 4Some is a excellent choice in Freeware. I need to find someone who paints this Dc-3, Needs Buffalo Colors.
 
Kilo Delta and Ferry_vO, thanks a lot for showing me this package.
I didn't know at all about it, and it sounds really interesting. I'll take a look at it right now :ernae:

could you prvide a link to this?? i could not find it i found something similar but it didnt work

thank you
 
the default one is nice but they didn't have counter rotating props.

have you tried adding the rotation parameter to the [propeller] section of the aircraft.cfg?

[propeller]
thrust_scalar=1.0
rotation=1,1 //Engine 1,2,3,... Rotation direction. 1 = CW, -1 = CCW
propeller_type= 0 //0='Constant Speed' (variable pitch), 1=Fixed Pitch
propeller_diameter= 11.500
propeller_blades= 3
propeller_moi= 39.920
beta_max= 57.700 //57.7 at 46 inch radius point, AHT p. 178
beta_min= 22.700 //22.7 at 46 inch radius point
min_gov_rpm= 1200.000
prop_tc= 0.020
gear_reduction_ratio= 2.100 //ref see AHT p. 175 (other sources say 2.0, and a few even say ~1.8)
fixed_pitch_beta= 0.000
low_speed_theory_limit= 80.000
prop_sync_available= 0
prop_deice_available= 0
prop_feathering_available= 1
prop_auto_feathering_available= 0
min_rpm_for_feather= 0.0
beta_feather= 89.5
