AH DC-3 Releasing March, 2022?

[DennyA]

So can we start requesting liveries for this yet?

Like the Otis Spunkmeyer C-41 I proposed to my son's mom on in 1995, N97H...



Or a silver-and-day-glo orange USAF or USN paint...

Well that is a bit of a PITA.
Was hoping for an unadulterated AH release with the full portfolio of versions.
Be interesting to see what gets through the Microsoft filter.

Just a thought -one of the original features was the ability to drop paratroopers. If they were carrying weapons, that might have transgressed Microsoft's policy. No big deal if they've had to drop it.

I would not be surprised if the paratroopers version has been removed.
I noticed on the AH Facebook page a couple of weeks ago a DC-3/C-47 image group with 72+ images.
That seems to have disappeared since then. I think the DC-3 will release with some liveries, then AH will release some more free ones after that.

Hi YoYo!

Yes I'm really looking forward to this Dc-3 I'm very excited. it won't be long before we can fly. Of course I'm looking forward to the other great planes that are coming today...

Yes, then I wish you always tree Green, with the Dc-3

Greetings Pirosch (Christian)

For me, the benchmarks are the Manfred Jahn team's freeware FSX/P3D versions.
Will be interesting to see how the ex AH stacks up.

For me, the benchmarks are the Manfred Jahn team's freeware FSX/P3D versions.

For me, too. I wish Manfred & Crew would start developing for MSFS - the C-47 & C117D were absolutely first class. And think of that Boeing B-50, with a team dedicated to building a full cockpit for it. It's sad that such a fine model will never see the light of day in MSFS.

 

[Twice43]

Well, I've had an hour in the air in the Retro DC-3 [GPS + AP], & the Classic version, {No GPS or AP, but takes the Keyboard AP commands for Hdg & Altitude hold]
Overall, stunning sounds & a pleasure to fly.
Well done AH, I look forward to the release of your liveries.

Re: the DC-3...

Anyone having problems with the hat switch views ? I click to the left - I snap view to the left. I click to the right - I snap view to the left and aft.

Is there a manual anywhere ?

Rather nice model overall, I must say - the engine sounds are amongst the best I've heard. Still trying it out, of course.

EDIT: I've found out how to make the pilot's yoke disappear, but where is the click spot to get it back ? ( Never mind, found it )

Where do you click to get rid of the Yoke? It blocks some basic dials.
Agree the Sounds are very very good, but the liveries are somewhat underwhelming so far & hopefully AH & Jankees can rectify that.
Thanks

Textures are underwhelming.. Not the quality but the diversity. Like someone else posted. I hope we will soon be getting some more options.

Tried starting the engines, but the levers would not switch from L -> R -> Both. They moved a little, but kept going back to OFF. I used the checklist. Maybe something to do with Multi-Monitor setup.

Will work on it some more over the weekend.

 

[zetar]

with the arrival of the su11 and the dc-3, isn't it too late???

 

[hangarrat101]

Anyone having issues with taking off? I go to full power and push the stick forwards to lift the tail as the aircraft starts to roll, however nothing happens until suddenly the aircraft lifts off with the tail down and pitches up almost to the point of stalling. Trim and CG positions look fine. Any ideas? Otherwise agree that aside from the liveries, this is an amazing machine!

 

[jankees]

The door hinges on the C-47 cargo door are a bit challenging to paint, so I've shelved the Dutch version for now, and tried something really simple:

Great paint

Now that we have a DC-3 in the sim, we can take to the skies to try out what Flying the Hump was all about

Thanks AH for the aircraft. I hope some C-47 liveries will show up soon.

Don't forget to install from the marketplace the free enhanced textures. But I am still prefer Manfred Jahn amazing VC.Same for the A310.

I have the same hat switch problem you described.

Can't find it.
Also, are you distinguishing between Retro & Classic versions of the DC-3 as regards which version a new livery belongs to?
Delighted you have jumped in.

Getting the same.
Around 62 kia it puts the nose up in the air & departs the runway.
I think it needs a fix for that.
