DC-3/C-47 Models

I'm looking for recommendations for well done DC-3/C-47 simulation aircraft for FSX. 

Thanks in advance,

Freeware or payware?

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Either way.  I don't mind paying for a good simulation.

The Just Flight DC-3/C-47 package and its expansion is worth a look. These are made by Aeroplane Heaven for Just Flight. It's very comprehensive set of aeroplanes if you like DC-3s, with pretty much every major variant in there including both  Pratt & Whitney and Wright Cyclone equipped versions with the correct cowlings and so on, especially if you get the expansion pack which adds even more variants. You get a WACO glider which you can tow (in the expansion) and which is also flyable (in the main package). I would have preferred a Horsa glider personally because it was a better assault glider, but it's a a bonus either way to get the WACO.

There is free a demo available of a C-47 variant you can download from the product page so you can check it out to see whether the package floats your boat. It's complete but is limited to a maximum altitude of 1,000 feet AGL, but other than that, it is a freebie. 

But the freebie ones are well worth a look too (Manfred Jahn etc), so be sure to try those out before spending money.

If you are prepared to stretch to having a DC2 rather than a DC3, then the Flight 1 UIVER DC2 is one of the best old prop planes you can get for FSX, so you might want to look at that as well.

For the C47, there is really only one. It stands head and shoulders above all the others.
It is the same one as linked above but without the third party interference.
