![]() ![]() Every process, checklist, maneuver, handle movement.should be performed with the right "touch" and specific intent. Highly responsive VSKYLABS support system (including C-47/DC-3 operational knowledge and support/assistance).Ī real C-47 should always be operated with great respect.AviTab plugin compatibility included (AviTab plugin not included).Autoupdater based on the SkunkCrafts autoupdater (XP12 only) - all updates are being pushed smoothly without the need to re-download the entire base package (base package will be updated every once in a while to minimize the gap).Skis - Animated, incorporated in the flight dynamics model.Anti-Icing/De-Ice systems - including icing and rain visualization.Optional modern avionics - dual GNS 530, S-TEC autopilot, AviTab compatibility.Sperry Autopilot - Old school autopilot is configured.Landing gears and flaps simulation - are being simulated with a high level of authenticity.Engines/propeller systems - designed with fully featured, functioning and authentic propeller feathering system, for highly realistic single engine simulation.Blown tires are also being visualized and simulated. Stressing the airframe will result also in severe damage, following a visual representation of the damages. Engine mishandling will result in severe damage to the engine/engine fire. Damage simulation - engines are sensitive to rapid spool-up.The fire extinguisher control panel is located behind the hinged cover on the cockpit floor, between the pilot/co-pilot's seats. Fire Extinguisher system - including fire indication system.Do not forget to enable hypoxia in X-Plane's general settings menu. Oxygen system - including crew dilution/regulator, pressure indicator and functional flow-indicator ("Blinker").The high blower configuration is allowing high altitude cruise. Two speed Supercharger blowers - based on the PW-1830-90C engines model, equipped with lo/hi blowers.Here are **some** of the more unique systems: Two C-47 variants included: The C-47 and the XC-47C floats-equipped variants.Ĭomprehensive systems: All the relevant systems are being simulated. Unique look and feel: There is nothing to hide - the VSKYLABS DC-3/C-47 is a mixture of a simplified yet very engaging design. It is a perfect platform to recreate and fly historic routes using authentic performance. Workhorse for DC-3/C-47 pilot skills: Experience authentic flight performance and handling practices (takeoff, landing, single engine operations, flight planning, long range flights and old school navigation). Aircraft performance and handling qualities were designed and tested in a "Research level" approach and went through a validation process of hundreds of flight testing and evaluation, tested and refined by real-world C-47 pilot. Highly Realistic Handling and Flight Performance DC-3/C-47 Simulation: Highly accurate performance and handling simulation of the DC-3/C-47, along with a full set of traditional/old school navigation and autopilot systems. Project is 'VR Ready' for use with X-Plane: VR functionality is a part of the project aspects which are constantly under evaluation and development for reaching higher level of immersion as the VR features and possibilities are growing. These characteristics of the DC-3/C-47 are fascinating, and were among the triggers for coming up with the idea of creating the VSKYLABS C-47 Skytrain Flying Performance/Research Lab project for X-Plane. It was able to cross the United States, and made transcontinental flights and worldwide flights possible. It is a twin-engine all-metal monoplane, capable to operate from short runways at remote places. Its great performance - range of approximately 1500 miles and speed of above 200 Miles per Hour, revolutionized air transportation in the 1930's and 1940's. The DC-3/C-47 is a fixed-wing propeller-driven airliner. ![]()
