Was PBR materials used for the interior as well?

Absolutely.  Complete rework of the art assets.  There's very little left of the V1 model. Including the flight model.

Among many other good stuff, i love the idea to feel the bird alive and care about her...

She'll be in my hangar for sure! Can't wait!

Yes.  It will be a paid upgrade but there will be a significant discount for V1 owners.

Adding to what Goran said, it was also stated in the original announcement you're replying to that this would be the case.

I'm sure, but I was under a spell by those fantastic screen grabs he shared. 

But thanks to both of you for confirming. I'll clear my calendar for some DC-3 refresher training, I know this one is going to be good.

Flight deck looks nice! Seems to be new - nice yellow label from left overhead panel with handwritten note "Instrument lights" is gone. BTW this label is present in X-Plane  Mobile DC-3, it this addon created also by LES?

Yes.

YES!  This has been at the top of my most wanted list for some time.  Instant day 1 purchase for me!

Hello X-Aviation !

 

Such a good news, many good Dakotas inbound, we prop era fanatics couldn't be happier ahha !

I'd like to gratfully propose you to include my highly accurate Hamilton Standard Hydromatic 23E50/6477A-0 propellers in your big upgrade. I modelled them as accurately as possible, owning one blade of the real deal helped a lot to nail the complex shape and airfoil of this airscrew.

Let me know ;-)

Good luck in this update

[DJSean00]

No more instant engine starts?

Cant wait for this!

[od1canod]

Count me in! Still have the original and would love a go at an updated version!

[Alicia_Rz]

Count with me as well..

Fate is the hunter

edit: better not, no Linux support, no money

No ETA yet.  But it will be very soon.

Ist it still in development or can I stop waiting?

[Goran_M]

@StefanH75 "Very soon" is a very loose term used in development circles.  

In saying that, a lot more is going into it than we originally planned.  Which we think is good for everyone.

I owe to do a post showing in detail what we are working on. As Goran said, we are adding more than originally planned.

So it is still in development. That's great, but be aware, competition is not sleeping. Airfoillabs has announced a C47/DC3. However, I'm still looking forward to the LES DC-3.

It all comes down to what people want.

Personally, I don't know why they want to make a DC3 with 2 other payware versions (ours included) and also a freeware version already out there.  But anyway...

Ive been flying v1 for years and can never get enough (wife and kids think otherwise!), so Im really excited to hear my fav plane is getting an update! My wallet is ready and waiting Goran!
