I'm usually ok with these. I don't lock the tail wheel. I like to be at full flaps as I come over the thresh hold and maybe 10 kts above stall speed and what I do is literally fly the plane unto the runway. If I do it right there's no bounce but unless I'm too fast and too steep an angle I wind up going down the runway just fine although with a bit of a bounce. I keep a little forward pressure on the yoke and stay on two wheels as long as possible. A lot of these guys took pride in getting to the parking area before the tailwheel was on the ground so that is my goal. If your speed drops enough the tail is going to come down for sure but I've never experienced the tail going up when I pulled the yoke back.
Older mac pro works great for me:
2009 macpro
8G ram
ATI Radeon HD 5870 (1G)
27" Apple Cinema Display
Mavericks (won't run on snow leopard)
FPS mid 20s to mid 30s.
I too was a very early adopter around 0300 out here in the great American flyover
Want to say what a pleasure it is to finally have this. Hand flies so nice. Wonderful documentation. I'm loving it, teething problems and all.
A sincere thank you all.
Been working on flying the DC3 'by the book' in anticipation of this beauty. Lots of info available online for this iconic aircraft. Howdy's Canadian Rockies scenery package has a nice Yellowknife with the Buffalo hangars and aircraft modeled.
Has anyone run this on a mac with bootcamp. I downloaded the demo but it won't extract. It throws a non 7z archive. I did find reports of firefox and avg messing up the download so will try redownloading tonight using ie and with avg turned off.
