Hi all, for those of you who love the venerable DC3 family, please join scores of similarly inclined sim pilots at dc3.airways.com. we provide virtually everythin you may need on all the major sim platforms. Additionally, we have a very active multi player program with flights 4 days a week…using the latest freeware communication and visual programs to be together on a common flighplan crew by our members. as for DC3 parameters take a look at this https://krepelka.com/fsweb/learningcenter/aircraft/flightnotesdouglasdc3.htm this guide does not specifically discuss STOL performance, but trim up two notches and use 2 notches of flaps which, depending on weight, should get you airborne in about 1600 feet. As for a slow landing, one of our DCA pilots, Roger Wyrick, created this YouTube video Sherm Sherm DCA 662

Thanks for the pix..looking good and, it gives me the latest chance to invite all who read this and love the DC3 to join us at www.dc3airways.net the door is always open to new and experienced pilots alike Sherm DCA 662 DIRECTOR, PUBLIC RELATIONS

FSX still looks pretty good... Sherm

great shots, and you are correct about RTMM. I am working my way through the flight plans almost every day and love every minute. Pilot support is excellent and personal thanks to Norm Richards who is one of the kahunas at RTMM., not to mention the designers who put together the flight plans and elegant scenery packages. For those of you who would like to know more and join up, the main web is return.mistymoorings.com There is a second website which is part of the experience http://www.mistymooringsflyingclub.com/index.php/ And, if that is not enough, there is a discord channel. https://discord.com/channels/412094075542700053/412096082198396928 that's the 411...gotta run and get back to a flight in Colorado. Sherm

great shots...you may have posted this, but if so, I missed it. What sim are you flying? Thanks Sherm p3d v5.4

Do you mean two maps on the screen? I am not sure that can be done...When Albert sees this, he will give you the answer. Sherm

Late to the party on this by about 5 years, but in the readme.txt file there is a notation to use the x64 version of the aircraft.cfg for P3D 4 ( tho not stated, this also applies for v5..not sure if it will work for v.6.) Anyway, back up the default aircraft.cfg then, rename aircraft.cfgx64 to aircraft.cfg. that should get you up and flying. sherm

The airport was built for what originally was The Playboy Club. I used to be part of a group of people who would fly up out of Meigs in Chicago on junkets for Las Vegas style performances. It was one classy place. As the Playboy empire and concept lost some following, the Club was ultimately sold and is now The Grand Geneva resort https://journaltimes.com/20-photos-from-when-grand-geneva-was-the-playboy-club/collection_00015d52-2e54-512c-86fe-1c607587222d.html#20 Sherm

It looks as if this has already been asked and answered...bottom line, suggestions not adopted.

I agree with Rogen. Frankly, wading through post after post about MSFS or Xplane is a waste of time. Each of the platforms should have their own forums, for comment, screenshots, etc. I hope the admins at Avsim will consider this adaptation. Sherm

I agree the first shot looks better, but that might be because of weather changes. The two pictures are not in the exact same position, which also could account for the difference. again, I am sure I speak for the Community with a grateful thank you for your work improving P3D… sherm

As noted above, I was using the new shader set before clearing out TOGA SHADERS. Similar image after TOGA SHADERS were cleared. This flight was on approach to KGNT with light overcast clouds according to ACTIVE SKY and ACTIVE SKY CLOUD ART https://imgur.com/a/rYITxfD Sherm

So far everything is looking good, and thanks again for your work. I do have TOGA activated with shaders. But, there is a function within the app to clear all shaders. When I finish my current flight, I will take the step, clearing shaders and then reload everything to see how yours look without any extraneous influence. Again, thanks... Sherm
