April 10, 20224 yr Hello, I am probably the last player of FU3 but I thought I try asking here anyway. I just recently got the urge to try FU3 again and I am a bit hooked... I would like to test fly the DHC-6 and DHC-8. I have looked through my own archives of downloaded planes and here on the AVSIM file library. Sadly much of the add-on planes for FU3 was lost in the big file AVSIM file library crash many years ago. So, can anyone help me with links to Jon Points flyable DHC-6 and DHC-8 for FU3? Many thanks in advance! By the way, if you know the forum since the release of FU3 you might remember me from Unlimited Design (I am Daniel). I made flyable add-ons such as the SR-71, Learjet 45, Piper Malibu Mirage and the King Air 350 to name a few.
May 28, 20224 yr Author Never mind, I found both planes. The DHC-6 is actually in the AVSIM file library and the DHC-8 was sent to me by an old friend. I can upload the DHC-8 to the AVSIM file library if there is any FU3 players still around?
June 2, 20224 yr Hi, Daniel. Hope you are well. It is good to see you here again. I don't think you are the last one to fly FU3 😀. I keep flying in FU3 skies, almost once weekly, even though I don't drop in here often. And guess what? I keep loving it!
June 2, 20224 yr Hi. It's me the last Flight Unlimited 3 player on the world! Almost every day! I downloaded and tuned a few ". res" planes from two sites. I tuned dgvoodoo2 + Reshade, and that brings me stability (on Windows 11) and an astonishing picture quality. I created a land runway "Bodega Head" based on Bodega by Bogdan, extreme west on San Francisco map, modified recently with "manual" lights at night (activated with Q key).
June 19, 20223 yr Author Hello Naji and Patrik, Nice to hear that I am not alone playing FU3 In 2022 😀 IMO the immersive feeling in FU3 is still not beaten by any other flight sim. Naji, Thanks! I remember you as well. I hope you are well too. Patrik, The "manual" lighting you mention is "PCL" = Pilot Controlled Lighting. I believe Half Moon Bay has it to name one.
June 30, 20223 yr I am glad that you found the planes that you were looking for, Daniel. I hope that you are enjoying your trip down memory lane. I have very fond memories of my time with Flight Unlimited 2 and 3, and they will never fade. For the record, I now fly around "Flight Unlimited Great Britain and Netherlands" in P3Dv4.5HF2 Edited June 30, 20223 yr by Christopher Low Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
August 22, 20232 yr Author The DHC-6 and DHC-8 are now uploaded to the AVSIM file library. I am not sure though how active the library admins are. Seem to me like that there has not been any activity for a while?
September 12, 20232 yr Someone re-uploaded Jon Point DHC6 Twin Otter and DHC8 "DHC-6 and DHC-8" (file dhc68.zip) on 24th August 2023.
