My flight was from Chicago to Buffalo to Syracuse, NY. My father said that I was crying when I had to get off of the plane. I have loved aviation ever since then. I have been involved with Flight Simulations since 1984 and participated in several of Microsoft's beta programs. I met Austin Meyer when he came out with his first simulator, X-Plane Helicopter, many years ago.

Since we're reminiscing... I've only had one flight in a DC-3 but it was pretty spectacular. It was on a flight from Caracas to Canaima on a visit to Angel Falls back in the early 80's. Back then, they'd fly the plane close enough to the Falls on the way in, that you'd get spray on the wing. Good times. 

Hope you enjoy it, Rick.

We're looking at a few small issues with it in XP11, but so far, it looks promising that any update will be minor.  

 

I purchased it. It works ok in XP11 without any tweaks. However, there some anomalies in ground behaviour that developers promised to look at (time permitting)

 

I actually tested it yesterday, and so far, haven't had an issue.  I'll look at it some more and mess with the calibration to see if I can replicate what you're seeing and get back to you.  In the meantime, do me a favor.  Open the DC-3 in X Plane 11's Planemaker program, then save it and close it.  See what that does.  This re-saves the flight model in XP11 format.  Maybe this is why I'm not seeing your issue, because I've opened it, worked on it and closed it in Planemaker a few times.

Hope you enjoy it, Rick.

Will do. Thanks

My brother threw up on my Mom on his DC-3 flight!

I have the LES DC 3, Ground handling is a pita, hardly moves on grass. Once airborne it's nice though.

Reload with Planemeker and ground anomaly no longer there. Thanks you!

That is great news.  Thanks!

It sounds like this bird is a keeper-  can anyone confirm?

 

Thanks,  Bruce.

 

Goran's DC-3 is the first plane I install whenever I set up X-Plane.  It's a fantastic piece of work.

Reload with Planemeker and ground anomaly no longer there. Thanks you!

 

Great.  I'll add that to the database of fixes for XP11.

Enjoy!

Thanks Alan..

So dumb suggestion, but while this is easy enough to do *for people who know how and also have heard about the problem and the fix*, wouldn't it be nice for you to just re-release the package after having done this, so people can have it working out of the box..?

Most plane authors are waiting until XP11 is out of beta before releasing any updated versions. I think that's entirely reasonable, since a beta is a moving target and might break something else.

 

Meanwhile, both developers and users are sharing info that might help users get the older planes working.
