Hi folks, after 10 long years the LDR C-119G Boxcar and Tanker versions have finally been released. After all the work put in by a lot of contributors I really hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed building it!

This aircraft has been tested in FSX+SP2, FSX+Acceleration, FSX:Steam Edition and P3D v3.0 up to v5.3.

NOTE: P3D v5.4 and beyond throws up issues that are common with FSX aircraft in those versions and the Boxcar is not recommended for anything beyond v5.3.

NOTE: You MUST read the installation instructions fully as this is a very complex aircraft and it will not work correctly if you do not follow all the steps in the installation procedure!

Having said all that here are the links for the aircraft, Hi-Res texture packs and the paint kit!

Here's a few tips for you new Boxcar jockeys:

1) Read the manual as there are some very important bits in there.
2) Turn on the ASI 'bugs' as they really help especially on approach. If you 'keep the needle in the bug' by adjusting the throttles on descent you will fly a perfect ILS approach every time. I have had a perfect 'auto land' situation twice during testing where I didn't turn off the auto-pilot until after I was on the ground!
3) For short runways when you are heavy you can use either the Water Injection/WEP switches on the pedestal or the JATO if you have it displayed. You can even use both at the same time for extra 'umphhhhhhhhhhhhh'! :cool:
4) Read up on how to use the reverse props feature to get stopped in a hurry on short strips! It uses the same methodology as jets and once you've engaged reverse mode (shown by the horizontal 'barber pole' on the engine gauges) advance the throttles to max. to get full reverse thrust. Make sure you get out of 'reverse' before stopping though otherwise you run the risk of pulling a 'wheelie' with the rear doors on the deck and your nose in the air! DAMHIKIJDOK! :oops::dizzy::whistle:
5) Test out the 'slow start' feature at least once. Roman put in hours of work to perfect that sequence and it is a joy to watch from the outside! Use the pop-up electrical panel for controls.

Enjoy!

Just as I'm figuring out the HJG C-9, you bring out this amazing aircraft.
I see more studying in my future.
I love detail and accuracy, and you've done both, plus a paint kit... what's not to love.
Thanks Larry!!!!!
