Long awaited Manfred/Visser C-47v3 released with vintage virtual cockpit

July 22--Jan Visser announced today that an upgraded version of

Manfred Jahn’s popular freeware Douglas C-47 for Flight Simulator X and

Lockheed Martin Prepar3D is now available with an authentic vintage virtual

cockpit and other improvements. A version that drops paratroopers is

included.

Under development since late 2013, the v3 beta release includes various

external model upgrades including detailed 3D engines; a new flight model;

new cockpit and engine sound sets; and a new interactive checklist with

optional audio callouts. The development thread at sim-outhouse.com has

accumulated over 1800 posts and 480,000 views.

“Without a dedicated team of volunteers,” Visser said, “this aircraft

would never have gotten off the ground. Manfred’s new monitor panel and

checklist, Ted ‘Tufun’ Wolfgang’s engine and cockpit sounds, and Daniel

Gauthier’s crew communications and interactive checklist are highlights,

but many people cooperated to make this extraordinary aircraft available.”

The developers are located in Australia, Germany, The Netherlands,

Switzerland, and the United States.

This release is a public beta. Some features, like cockpit night

lighting for FSX users and an interactive on-screen checklist for FSX and

P3D, will be added soon in updates. Skins from v2 are compatible, but

will require minor modifications to take advantage of enhancements.

 

A paint kit and new bump map skins will also be available.

The FSX and P3D compatible aircraft and pilot handbook can be

downloaded free from
