AUTHENTIC FLIGHT MODEL VERSION 1.0 MICROSOFT DOUGLAS DC-3 (FS2004 ONLY) This flight model was developed to replace the stock Microsoft Douglas DC-3 aircraft in Flight Simulator 2004. It was created using the Authentic Flight Model method, which uses a wind tunnel program to analyze the airfoil and compute the coefficients of lift, lift curve, drag, and aircraft pitch moment with a great degree of accuracy. Highlights of this flight model include the following enhancements: -- Virtual Wind Tunnel analysis of the NACA 2200 series airfoil used on this aircraft -- Corrected fuel capacity (from 604 to 820 gallons) -- Corrected horsepower, torque, and thrust -- Accurate top speed, rate of climb, and cruise speeds -- Corrected payload placement for a more accurate CG With this flight model, the stock DC-3 is now a stable, predictable aircraft with the docile, forgiving flight dynamics for which it was so well-known, and its performance now matches its real-world counterpart. The revised performance figures are reflected in the new checklist and reference sheet; just refer to these documents for this information.
