Kicking off a series of development updates, we will travel to the past, from when DC-3 was born to today, to understand the significance of this aircraft for the whole airline industry. Douglas Aircraft Company, after a TWA inquiry, started development of a new series of aircrafts, designated as Douglas Commercial (DC), the DC-1 in 1933, and DC-2 next year. Although DC-2 was successful, it was a bit narrow for what American Airlines wanted, which led to the development of one DST prototype. DST stands for Douglas Sleeper Transport! Yes beds in the airplane! Flew first time on December 17, 1935, the 32nd anniversary of Wright Bros first flight. The aircraft was fitted with 21 seats (instead of 14-16 sleeping berths), and designated as DC-3! Totally built, up to 1943, 607 DC-3 aircrafts. But WWII has begun and many DC-3s were put into military service. The needs for a military transport aircraft were huge, and with DC-3 fitting the bill, the C-47 Skytrain was created. It was based on DC-3 with few changes needed for the operations in the military, most notably the reinforced floor that allowed for higher gross weight, and the dual cargo doors. A total of around 10,000 C-47 aircrafts (and variations) were constructed. Many C-47s, after WWII, became available for civilian use, and even today, there are many DC-3s and C-47 in use! Later, in 1990, another variation was developed by Basler Turbo Conversions, retrofitting P&W PT-6 turboprop engines, and airframe modifications, designated as BT-67. Our Leading Edge Simulations DC-3 (v2) is based on the original, 21-seats, variants. The aircraft has a maximum gross weight (MGW) of 25,200 lbs for take off and landing, and can reach speeds up to 207 mph (180 knots). 2 Pratt and Whitney PW R-1830 Twin Wasp radial engines, providing 1,200 hp each, driving a 3-blade Hamilton Standard propeller. In the next weeks leading to the release, as development progresses, we will look into each area of the aircraft in more detail. For now, I will leave you with a few more random images. Keep in mind that everything you see here, up to the release, is work-in-progress, not final! (source: Wikipedia)

Hello. I have a problem with micro stutters in X-Plane 10.51. There is no similar problem with any other aircrafts. Thank you for your reply in advance!

For the DC-3, I can't enter my validation details for some reason. There are no fields for email and password. 4k monitor, if that matters. Any ideas? (Attached screenshot) Hope this hasn't been covered. No search I attempted using multiple syntax worked. Thanks. <edit> Just tried the Take Command CRJ-200, same issue. Seems to be common to the BitRock installer. My other purchases that use the InstallBuilder work.

Running latest rev (1.4) of Leading Edge Simulation's DC3. Apologize if this has already been reported. A few issues: 1. Taxi control response is very latent - requires extreme pedal pressue to elicit a response. Difficult to control on take-off as well. I have more control adjusting engine power. 2. Interior lighting could use a boost. Example - Difficult to see comm/nav adjustment knobs. 3. Cowl flaps adjustment - hard to tell open/close activity without looking from outside craft. My system: Late 2012 iMac 27", I7 at 3.4 Ghz. 16GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB Thanks, Mike Porter

Hi! Is there meanwhile a plan to support the whole X-Plane community? I think it's really a pity if this nice plane is not going to be available on Linux. Especially as it got a whole lot of positive feedback. I'd really love to fly it. But so far, no linux, no money. For me it's as easy as that. Cheers Rob

Hello, First I must say that I really enjoy flying the DC-3, especially in FSeconomy, but there is some problem with the ADF: Right after starting up X-plane and selecting the DC-3, the ADF needles work with tuned frequencies in range. But if you just turn off and on again the ADF switch, or change the freq. they stop working until you restart X-Plane (sometimes even this doesnt help, almost randomly). Hope you can help with that, Etrich

I love the new DC-3, but I have a couple questions. 1. I can get Nav1 and an NDB on the leftmost nav gauge. Where does Nav2 appear? Only on the copilot gauge? That's okay with me, I just want to make sure I understand how the gauges work. 2. I know the DC-3 appeared before the advent of VORs. Is that why I can't find an OBS knob anywhere? Or is there one and I'm just missing it? (By the way, thank you for not including a GPS. Much more immersive this way.) 3. What's the expected cruising speed of the plane? 4. Any general advice on how to manage throttle/prop/mixture? All three full on takeoff seems to work, but shortly after takeoff, I get engine warnings unless I reduce power or prop or both. In general, do we fly this like we'd fly smaller two-engine piston aircraft, like the Baron 58? "Prop on top", etc.? 5. Also, should I be opening cowl flaps on takeoff and on steep descents? 6. I'm nervous about turning her into a true tail-dragger. Maybe fly a bit this way first? Any advice on that? Thanks!

Hi, guys! Question for you, how do I do a vor to vor navigation say from Reno to Seattle, and from San Francisco to New York, ect.? I cannot seem to find what I'm looking for on the internet. I'm very interested in trying out the vor to vor navigation like what the pilots did back in the 1930s, 1940s and in the Saab 340A without the FMS! Thanks! Cheers, Vincent

Hi, this is my first post. I have searched for an answer but can't find one in here. When I start the engines on the dc-3 in x-plane 10 the oil pressure goes straight up to 85 psi at idle throttle. The only way I can take off is by getting the pressure to well over 100 psi. The manual says that you should wait till the pressure has increased to 40 before increasing rpm's. I have followed the checklist and can only conclude that there is a problem with the software. Perhaps there is an update that I'm not aware of. I did look for one but I couldn't find one. I would appreciate any help in this matter. I do really enjoying flying this but this problem does kill the emersion a bit. Many thanks. Gquann
