Just released at SimMarket, in separate or bundle:

https://secure.simmarket.com/aeroplane-heaven-douglas-dc-3-and-c-47-bundle-p3d4.4.phtml

This surely will help keep us busy during the current lockup.

Cheers, Ed

 

 

I just bought the DC3. It looks really good, but at this point I am having some trouble with it. When I try to start the engines the entire plane starts spinning around, resulting in a sim crash. While I am troubleshooting, could anyone confirm that it actually starts and works like it should? Looking forward to sort this out.

 

Thanks in advance!

The video on the product page is titled "engine start guide."

Do you mean a CTD or simply that the plane crashes due to the swirls?.

Cheers, Ed

It had to do with the gear lever not beeing set in the down position. Since I have unticked "detect crash", it ended up accelerating in a swirl, resulting in a CTD. Seems to be working now. 

Anyone got the Manfred Jahn team's C-47 & the AH release & have thoughts on relative strengths?

pretty expensive - wondering how detailed engine management is done ?

Is the passenger cabin modeled? I couldn't find any screen shots that show this.

I have it and I love it. More fun then a basket full of speckled puppies. Very detailed with an intuitive virtual FO who will read the check list and perform the function if you don't as well as chastise you if you let the engines overheat due to mismanagement. Flies heavy like you would expect a heavy transport from that era. Nice sound package and a world of liveries to download and install from airlines and military. Very detailed cockpit and there is a more modern panel available all P3DV4 compatible. There is a lot of good documentation comes with the aircraft, technical and historical. Even a virtual stewardess who visits the cockpit.  Unbelievable that it's freeware. 

Apologies to Ed if I watered down this thread but I'm just enthusiastic when this plane comes up and wanted to answer Treetops question.  An obvious labor of love by the developers.

For those who maybe haven't noticed, the panel (AH) can be adapted to add the GTN750 to the VC.

Cheers, Ed

60 EUR for a dc3?  Wow!

I have the same problem as you unfortunately. I'm trying to figure out the root cause.

Stated at page 11 in the included manual. Make sure the landing gear lever is down, and latched before engine start 😊

I don't see that mentionned in the manual but it seemed to have done the trick though. Thank you !!!

I think you are referring to the Freeware Manfred Jahn version?

Not the payware Aeroplane Heaven just released?

I have the Freeware & find it excellent & was wondering if the AH payware is equal, better or way better ?
