Thx. It was uploaded already: https://flightsim.to/file/47236/dc-3-n30087-northeast-airlines.
I was reading a USAF training manual from 1968 which was written in a pretty conversational manner and found it very useful.
The section on landing the C-47 made the point that if you are used to aircraft with a nose wheel then you tend to pull back on the yoke after touchdown when it is better to push forward.
I decided to give this a go and it is far and away the best technique I have tried.
I think of it as aero braking like you see on the F-16 except in reverse.
I keep adding forward yoke as the aircraft slows down. As I begin to run out of elevator I let the tail lower to the ground when I have the aircraft pointed down the center line.
If I don't have it perfectly centered when the tail wheel touches then I am ready with the tail wheel unlock (shift +G), by then the aircraft is slow enough to respond to rudder without any dramatic swings.
In general I find landings with this technique far more controllable with none of that frantic control inputs I tended to do with other methods. The key is being slower when the tail wheel touches down

I'll take a look and we'll update the download. Thanks for the HU.
Just downloaded and re-installed the livery pack, and the Transamazonica livery still has the blank white Garmin screens. May I ask if it's going to be fixed ?
Very well, I shall wait for that. It sounds interesting.

Was there an update with WU12?
There's a YouTube video up saying there was.
If so, is there a 'fixed' list anywhere?
Thanks
