Just got my first payware aircraft, the Uiver DC-2, for FS 9/FSX. This might get to be a habit"¦.




From above you can see how much narrower the fuselage is than a DC-3. Its basically a box shape rather than a cylinder.
For the DC-3 Douglas would round out the fuselage, up engine power, add more wingspan and make many other mods,
ending up with an almost completely new aircraft




This is what happens if you forget to throttle back after climb-out. Where's that fire extinguisher?
The flight notes recommend no more than a few minutes at full throttle, or:"Â￾the engines WILL fail"Â￾..


Looking forward from the passenger cabin door


And back from the flight deck


Meant to be flown from the VC, but the 2D panel is nice too. You'll be needing that prop feather...


American Airlines cabin. Loo door opens, should you feel the need. The KLM and TWA cabins look pretty good too,
but you don't get Life magazine




I haven't had it long enough to comment much on the flight characteristics, but it has a short take-off run, almost behaves like
a STOL aircraft with the flaps engaged. Fun! If you're interested in the technical differences between the DC-2 and the DC-3
this article is a great read: http://www.cnac.org/aircraft02.htm

That model looks brilliant, although I much prefer the DC-3's design.

Well done showing it off, what scenery is that?

Nice shots & A/C Hugh - will make an interesting comparison with the excellent MAAM DC-3 - Andrew I think the scenery is Godzone photoreal Dunedin/Otago.

I'd like to see that one, too, if anyone posts here would be great- or any other Douglas propliners .
Yes the scenerys are Godzone Taeri and Hampden, plus some of NZ scenerys Hamner Springs

Nice write-up Hugh.
