AH DC-3 Releasing March, 2022?

Please remember that this is officially a Microsoft release. Any requests, support issues etc. will be addressed by them if they are notified. So please don't ask us. If Microsoft require amendments, additions etc. we are officially notified and then act accordingly. It is they who decide if and when any updates are released. In the meantime we can produce free livery packs. There are some excellent mods being produced out there, available as free downloads from a variety of sites which further enhance the DC-3 experience. Also a growing collection of liveries are available. Over time, we are sure that the DC-3 will continue to improve but please be patient. The 40th Anniversary project is an enormous undertaking by all concerned.:engel016:
 
Someone posted in the official feedback thread they had to unlearn the FSX DC-3 to start enjoying the MSFS one. I can't agree more. I THOUGHT I was a good DC-3 pilot. But coming to the flight model with an open mind has opened my mind to how this new aircraft handles. And that's what it is, a NEW aircraft. There are bugs to work out but if you learn the plane we got and fly the plane we got it's pretty cool what they've done with it. My 0.02

Ok. So how do I understand any issues and suggestions to be patched should be reported on the MSFS forum. No problem. :wavey:

But any chances for the paintkit?

Yes, I agree too and I would rather not compare it to FSX, we are light years further than 2007 in simulators market and I don't consider the DC-3 model from FSX to be a kind of benchmark for next developers. There were better models later. Possibly if we are talking about the model MAAM was really good (FSX).
 
Im still over Brasil :wavey:(+ ORBX SA Mesh).

for me after update yesterday sperry autopilot stop working,any one else?:wavey:

I flew yesterday (after the small MSFS update) and it was fine for me. Notice that this update didnt concern DC-3, just new Marketplace items + few other things (but not any patch for DC-3 from AH side). If you will have update for DC-3, perhaps you should run it manually, directly from MSFS.

I just made a short flight. The sperry pilot worked as it should. Started as described in the manual. No buttons but setting the hydrolic lines from landing gear/flaps to the sperry manually.

I was going to post confirming that the Sperry Autopilot unit does not work with MSFS ver. 1.29.30.0, for me also.

.... so, we have to set it up manually by connecting the hydraulic lines (do you mean back behind or in-between) the Pilot & Co-pilot seats? to the Sperry Autopilot unit. I'll read the manual and see what y'all are talking about. If that is the way a real DC-3 pilot, does it then I'm going to do it that way too.

Never too old to learn or go and flip through those pages to review something.

Just 0,02, do you know that you can block by special entry in the repiant that the registration does not appear twice? Unfortunately, it spoils the effect that we have the original registration and the one from MSFS. You can use this (in panel folder for VPainting01, you need to add panel folder as well) in your repaint:

[VPainting01]
size_mm = 1, 1
texture = $RegistrationNumber
location = exterior
painting00=Registration/Registration.html?font_color=black, 0, 0, 1024, 256

in this case, registration of user from MSFS will not appear on the fuselage or tail.

After changes (looks better for me):

If you want to check the structure I added it here for you: https://www.sendspace.com/file/t0sths .
Yes, I know that there is an option to hide from the MSFS menu, but if the model already has its own registration, you can hide the one from MSFS right away, without manual intervention by the user. :wavey:

Thx for this great skin.
