Notice the prop twitch while cold and dark. I'm seeing this on other prop models in XP11. I wonder if it is something coming from XP11. I've gone as far as to remove my controllers to see if it was spurious input from throttle control, still does it. South Africa has a huge history in civil and military aviation with the DC-3/C-47 going back decades. Even gone as far as designing our own Turbo Dak, the Braddick, not the Basler. One can see the differences between the Braddick and Basler, rounded engine cowlings, longer forward protrusion of engines, all wing tips still rounded, and longer extension of section between wing root and nose. I've had the good fortune of flying in a SAAF C-47, from Waterkloof AFB in Pretoria to Cape Town, in my very young uniform days. A hard and noisy flight, definitely one needs ear plugs or cans, of 6 and a half hours, normal commercial jet take less than 2 hours. And in second seat while testing radios and RADAR with pilot, in my days of SAAF service as radio and RADAR technician. There is still a couple of restored civilian models that offer day trips on the weekend as part of an experience, includes meals on board, either a breakfast if early morning flight, or lunch if midday flight. But overall what an experience. Thanks for a great video.

Thank you for your kind words, and for sharing your experience. I am always thrilled to hear from real world captains. The twitch you see has nothing to do with your controls. It is an XP11 thing for sure. Blue skies captain!
@Kevr735 жыл бұрын
I love this plane (the DC-3/C-47, not the XP version). The sounds in the decade+ old FSX version by Jan Visser and Manfred Jahn (that is free btw) sounds so much better and more realistic as well as the flying. Won't mention ground handling as that is beyond a joke in XP. Either way, thank you for taking the time to create and upload these videos.
@peterbuhler12026 жыл бұрын
As others have mentioned you do great videos, I always enjoy them. I was lucky enough to fly many hours in real life as young lad, not as a pilot but as a crew member going from Melbourne to Tasmania every other night.( Cargo Delivery) ..I like many others have done many hours in the excellent MAAM Sim DC3, and sadly this model is certainly no match for that model, I dearly love to purchase a good model but as you spend 99% of the time in the cockpit it needs to be detailed, authentic in all or most aspects, not just a knock off of some patched up old DC3. A truly fantastic aircraft, lets hope some one one eventually does it justice.

I want to start X-plane 11 and this plane is my true interest, but I never used civilian simulators, (only Combat Flight simulator for years), and my question is: If I buy the X-plane 11... ¿have I all what I need to learn to fly the DC-3 or another planes in the game?. I mean, the complete manual for each one. Or, ¿where should I get trained for this game?. Regards and thank you very much for sharing this video.

I would rather you use full daylight for demos. It is difficult to see anything in detail. DC3/C47 instrument panels were customised according to owner's wishes so there isn't a standard panel.
