AH DC-3 Releasing March, 2022?

**pirosch** · November 15th, 2022, 07:55

Hello everyone!

Now I'll report back, even if I'm reading a lot. Well, the new DC-3 in MSFS is the absolute hit in my opinion. I love flying the DC-6, now the DC-3 is added, which for me is the highlite... And that's why I can't stop painting the DC-3

Well, I painted Swissair's DC-3 HB-IRI in neutrality colors. During WWII, all Swissair DC-3 aircraft had neutrality colors of red and white. I think the HB-IRI was quite successful with the painting I really enjoyed it.
That's why I won't hold you up to you and show you here....

I will upload them here and on Flightsim.to in the next few days.

I haven't found much about the history of HB-IRI, except this: Assembled by Fokker at Schiphol and delivered to Swissair on June 22, 1937 as HB-IRI. The Wright Cyclones fitted to this early DC-3 are easy to identify. Sold 1955. Flew as N2816D then N142D with Ozark Airlines until 1966. Written off as such March 1969.

Have fun with the pictures and I wish you a nice evening....

Here are three Original pictures from the HB_IRI

Greetings from Christian (Pirosch)

What an aircraft.I too struggled a bit at the beginning but the trim video cleared it up. I should not I'm not quite sure what he said in the video but the seventeen degrees of nose down trim did the work at the default weight. What a sweet flyer! Thanks for it.

That was not the question
Of course it's PS, but where can I find the textures?

ah, sorry.
In your packages/official/onestore folder.
In principle, your community folder is also in the packages folder, so it should be relatively easy to find. The onestore folder holds all your Asobo/Microsoft aircraft. The DC-3 is with the microsoft aircraft

If some of the livery artists could do a few Retro cockpit aircraft repaints, it would be appreciated.
Currently Classic is getting most of the attention.

@jankees Would you please consider a Catalina Flying Boats repaint? They only flew cargo runs between Long Beach, CA and Catalina Island. Had two DC-3's at one point. The old scheme would probably work also as generic cargo bird for many fliers (it was the scheme from Union Flights, a cargo feeder co.), but the modern schemes are really beautiful, too.

Does the landing gear lever have a neutral position? After unlocking the safety latch I can select gear up and down but I cannot get the lever in a neutral position like the flaps lever.
Is the manual wrong or is it a bug?

I'm slowly getting used to this DC-3 model. Unfortunately, I don't like the engine sound.
Thinking of Manfred Jahn's C-47 model in comparison, I ask myself whether or how this sound could be "built" into the new MSFS/AH model?
Is there any specialist in this forum being able to do this?

Lovely. Do you know whether this was flown in Indochina, or just France and Algeria maybe ?

Great, thanks for the info - Indochina is what I hoped. Coupled with the community mods at Flightsim.To, this is proving to be quite an enjoyable aircraft.
