AH DC-3 Releasing March, 2022?

[ftl818]

DC3 landing gear lever

Does the landing gear lever have a neutral position? After unlocking the safety latch I can select gear up and down but I cannot get the lever in a neutral position like the flaps lever.
Is the manual wrong or is it a bug?

I'm slowly getting used to this DC-3 model. Unfortunately, I don't like the engine sound.
Thinking of Manfred Jahn's C-47 model in comparison, I ask myself whether or how this sound could be "built" into the new MSFS/AH model?
Is there any specialist in this forum being able to do this?

Lovely. Do you know whether this was flown in Indochina, or just France and Algeria maybe ?

Good evening everyone!

Here is my first https://de.flightsim.to upload from the DC-3 HB-IRI.



Have fun and have a nice evening...

Great, thanks for the info - Indochina is what I hoped. Coupled with the community mods at Flightsim.To, this is proving to be quite an enjoyable aircraft.

Great work Christian!!

Agree. A 3 does not sound like this. They are very loud and you know you have two radials right outside those windows.

Interesting comment considering the sounds were specially recorded in a dedicated sound session with a real DC-3 from cold dark right through to engine runs in and out of the hangar. Courtesy of the Dutch Dakota Association. I'll pass your comments on.

I flew in the DDA DC3 some years ago. The sound is right, the level is perfect! What struck me is the tiny cockpit.

I think the sounds are the best part about the -3. I crank them up with the sub and I would rattle the windows except I dont want to wake the kids and wife haha. Nice work.

The internal sounds are nice but as with all AH aircraft the soundai package is lacking and doesn't sound like the real aircraft at all in multiplayer or when using flyby/drone view.

That's a bit harsh, no?

I felt like it was pretty light criticism, personally. What was harsh about my comments? I didn't make any personal attacks or go out of my way to bring up something negative for the sake of it, I saw the discussion about the sounds and expressed my disappointment with a minor detail I have with the exterior sounds in AH's models while also mentioning what I did like about them.

 

[bazzar]

The sound pack in the DC-3 was recorded and produced by one of the best in the business. The studio has done work for all your "favourite" developers, much of which has garnered massive praise on these pages. They are so busy, we cannot commission on the next project we have until forst quarter, next year. To engineer a WWise soundpack for MSFS is a) very, very expensive and b) requires much skill. It would be impossible to compare this with our usual soundsets as this is the first time we have used this company. There are very,very few commercial, professional sound studios operating with WWise for MSFS. We use both the ones we know of.

Look, I don't actually care very much but if you want play around putting other soundsets in go right ahead.

However, if you try anything that was in an FSX or P3D addon, you will be very disappointed with the results. The sound production process is completely different (legacy) and will not sound correct, whatever yo do.

If you didn't generate MIPs when you exported the files, try that.

I am very much a systems type of MSFS user who usually turns towards A2A or PMDG for aircraft I intend to use a lot. But with this one I am quite happy. Maybe some things aren't as deeply simulated but the cockpit interactions are done well and I also liked the sound so far, quite a lot actually in the cockpit. I need to do some longer flights with it and get familiarized but I am happy with this one and glad we got it for for free!

So a big thank you to MS / Asabo and Aeroplane Heaven for this one!
