Basler BT-67 FSX (freeware 5th July)

There used to be one of these in Faibanks, Alaska and I did ride on it once, and some friends had flown it. Last year I saw this same aircraft in Kabul Afganistan in the same blue and white paint job, but with the small chin turret for observation.

Cheers: T
 
I parked next to one of these years ago on the ramp at Burbank and it was so impressive.

This one is just as impressive, a really fine job. Thanks so much to everyone involved in making this.

How about the irony of having what is probably the best DC-3 in FSX driving around with turbine power? :icon_eek:

cheers,

Thank you, it's very neat rendition of BT-67, the ambient shadows in VC certainly add to atmosphere! I noticed two small bugs, the propeller 2 RPM gauge shows propeller 1 RPM (easy to fix in .xml) and the landing lights beam changes direction depending on bank - maybe a glitch with attach points?
 
Thank you, you are right and very well spotted. Bug #1 either escaped us or we introduced it late in the proceedings, bug #2 we did notice but don't have an explanation for yet. I actually voted for keeping it as it looks as if the pilot swivels the lights to see where he is going.
 
Thanks for the answer! At first I thought the lights were pulsating (some planes employ that as it is said to increase their visibility and even scare birds away), but then I noticed connection with plane bank. Unfortunately, this sometimes results in impossible angle like on the screenshot:

One way to fix is to use the effect as standard light (aircraft.cfg entry) - it stays aligned forward, but looks a bit different than the effect attached in model (rightmost on the picture):

I'd like to take the opportunity to compliment you and your team on the manual and system simulation including those used in case of failure - hardly ever freeware plane features those, great job!
 
It truely is an awsome project. Many, many thanks to the development team for providing this free for us
 
Great stuff! Thanks team:applause:

Absolutely fantastic and thank you to Manfred and the rest of the team, have been looking forward to this since the first announcement of the project and it's way beyond what I hoped for. The fuel trucks are at the ramp as I'll be going through pounds and pounds getting aquainted with the new lady.

Thanks a lot for the great feedback!
I've uploaded my ENB Mod I created for the Basler to my homepage
Makes her even look more realistic!

Greetings, Daniel

Any ideas about a free soundset?
Click to expand...
I already had Bill Shultz's CV-580 soundset installed, so that's what I'm using. Tweaking the volume(s) in Options/Settings/Sounds gives me what I want.
They aren't correct for the PT6 engines, but, I really like their lower "note" a lot better than the available defaults.

"FS2002/FS2004 Allison T-56 Engine Sounds", 580sound.zip @flightsim,
and the update; "T-56 Allison Turboprop Sound Update for L-188 Electra, CV-580 and P-3 Aircraft", t56_sound_update_cielo.zip @ Avsim.

There are other soundsets proffered in the BT-67 thread at Avsim: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/378810-basler-bt-67-turbo-conversion-dc-3-released/page__st__25 ...Don
 
Just did my first flight with the Basler and I love it! Thanks so much for this gift,you guys did an amazing job on it!:cool:
