Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a link for a "free" KDCA download on P3D v3

Thank you

There is a rather good representation of KDCA in the DD Washington X.  It's not quite FSDreamteam/FlyTampa/FlightBeam, but it's the next step next to those and you get a complete DC area with all the landmarks and such.  It makes the river visual rather appealing.

I agree. It is worth every penny and has good performance.

For complete and accurate scenery then DD Washington X is spot on. 

As someone who works right across the river, I can say its pretty accurate.

How is the DD with VAS?  Can one depart from a nice payware airport, make a 2 hour flight and land at DD KDCA without a VAS alarm or OOM - using a payware aircraft such as the PMDG NGX or Aerosoft Airbus?

Dave - I have completed several flights to and from DD KDCA and FSDT KIAH with zero issues in the FSL A320.  I have also completed 2 flights to/from FSDT KORD.  This is using ORBX FTX Global, Vector, Open LC NA & AS16/ASCA.  AI traffic limited to 50 and I also have FB KIAD which does partially load in depending on your route of flight.  I have been surprised by how well this scenery performs.  That being said, I am running the LITE version.  I have not tried the full but see no need for it with my type of flying. All flights in and out of the area ended with about .5 VAS remaining which is pretty normal for most of my flying in the FSL A-320.

I've flown from the imaginesim KATL to KDCA in the FSLabs A320 without issue.  The only time I had an issue was on departure from DCA in the FSLabd A320 when I overflew flightbeam KIAD...once I disabled KIAD I've had no more issues.

Yeah I would not load in KIAD FB and keep AI capped at a minima.   Between DCA, IAD, and BWI its probably one of the most congested airspace next to NYC, LA, and CHI.
