azpilot Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 No, but I would like to see a newer style cockpit with a little more detail throughout the VC cabin. I was just wondering if you had any future plans for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Highly unlikely. Newer cockpit would need new mesh, textures, code. Probably would need to be completely reworked from scratch.The cabin is deliberately left at "lower" detail than the cockpit for performance reasons. (The entire mesh, exterior and Interior is about 1.6 million polygons as it is) IF we even decide to modernize it, it would definitely be a paid upgrade and paid upgrades are often frowned upon by customers.

Vinny003 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi, guys!I really enjoy flying the DC-3 with good old fashioned 1930s style analog gauges!!! Cheers, Vincent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azpilot Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks Goran. As is it's a beautiful plane, but I would definitely pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niilo Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Well the sound in the DC-3 could be improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wim1976 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yep, and the sticky tires when you taxi on terrain also. But it is still going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeporter10 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I had posted earlier on my issues with the aircraft - but don't believe I got a response. 1. Taxi behavior - typically requires exaggerated correction. Landing gets interesting when transitioning to taxi.2. Interior lighting - difficult to see nav/com tuning knobs.3. Cowl flaps - open/close hampered by #2 and guesswork on flap condition. Have to confirm by using exterior view! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'll have a look at these points and post back. Just for clarification, are you using the free castoring tail wheel or the steerable version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
