Some new liveries for the Douglas DC-2X!

Hi all,

This is something I cooked up for an answer at another forum.....(the question was which plane to choose) I outdid myself here:kilroy:

With the Uiver DC-2, I felt I would have been too spoiled by Accusim products and been disapointed.

Hi, I'm biased ofcourse.
The Uiver is not 'accusimmed' in that sence, but we do have full system simulations.
The engines can be abused, and in that case will fail or catch fire.
You can do a full, by the book, cold and dark start-up, with working external power, fuelpumps, priming, flooding carburetors, etc. Forget one step, and you must try again. (or use ctrl-e, if you're lazy)
Props can be fully feathered, and you can see the propgoverners move. Airstart of the enigines is possible too.
Fuel system is completely modelled
Switching tanks is tricky, don't forget to flick on your fuel pumps, or the engines will stall due to lack of fuel pressure.
We have a working manual hydraulics system, with manual pump, in case your hydralic pumps fail.
You can do wheels up landing. The props will bend, but the plane will not crash. (as with the real plane, that's why the wheels stick out a bit)
At night, you can see if you're flying rich or lean, by the color of the exhaust flames.
It all comes with 3 external models, plenty free repaints, 3 VC's (1 with modern avionics, 2 completely steam gauges, all fluidly animated and modelled in 3D) and a fully modelled interior, including loo ;),and virtually anything that can be clicked , switched or moved in the real plane is animated and functional in our model.

You can download the manual from our site for free, www.dc2-fs.com, and see what we have to offer.
You will not be dissapointed

The price is right, and the money goes directly to a good cause, the preservation in airworthy condition of the real plane.

Archie made two fictional repaints available:

available over at OzX: http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/1516-uiver-dc2x-rnzaf

And he worked a FS9 fictional repaint from our Tim, 'Africa' so it fits the new FSX version

Enjoy.

Thank you very much, Tim! I missed LOT livery so much, that I found the old 2004 one and reworked it to fit the FSX version which I have. But your one is much better and I switched to it once you have relased the expansion liveries :)
