Empty Weight on MAAM-SIM DC-3

Featured Replies

Hi all,Do we know what the MAAM-SIM DC-3 has for an "Empty Weight"? (That is the weight to which one adds oil, fuel, crew, and payload.)

  • In my installment (purchased circa 2004) all the DC-3s and C-47s have an empty weight of 19,021 pounds. Also, the pdf manual has that number as well.
  • Other MAAM-SIM DC-3 owners report that they have an Empty Weight of 16,125 pounds.

This number matters for how one loads the aircraft. (The internet-published numbers typically look more like 16,125. But I don't know the right answer here.)Bill? Rob? Do you know if you all changed the Empty Weight number somewhere in the various releases?Thanks for your attention. Best wishes,Mike MacKuen

Take a look at the zero-fuel, zero-passenger weight in the FSX aircraft configuration dialg box. Should be accurately replicated.Cheers,- jahman.

Good morning Mike,

Do we know what the MAAM-SIM DC-3 has for an "Empty Weight"? (That is the weight to which one adds oil, fuel, crew, and payload.)
I have the same original version (from 2004) and I also did the same question time ago . The good figure is that of 19,201 pounds.Regards,Lluís
