When I'm flying the VSKYLABS C-47/DC-3 in X-Plane, there is that overlay feeling that was probably imprinted in me back then when I was a young pilot when I was learning the use of the C-47/DC-3 "Force" in real-life.

Further more, the pilot who teaches you how to fly a C-47 is a kind of a "Yoda".teaching the use of the "Force": "This aircraft with great respect, you shell treat!". 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.Auto-update based on the SkunkCrafts autoupdater.Passenger and luggage 3-d visualization.Making use of X-Plane 12 advanced weight and balance system for station based passengers loading.Skis - Animated, incorporated in the flight dynamics model.Anti-Icing/De-Ice systems - including icing and rain visualization.Advanced glass cockpit and autopilot system - based on the LR G1000.Landing gears and flaps simulation - are being simulated with a high level of authenticity.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 (experimental feature).The fire extinguisher control panel is located behind the hinged cover on the cockpit floor, between the pilot/co-pilot's seats. DC-3 Fire Extinguisher system - including fire indication system.Engines/propeller systems - Highly defined PW-1830-92, 14 cylinder engine simulation, designed with fully featured, functioning and authentic DC-3/C-47 propeller feathering system, for highly realistic single engine simulation.Here are **some** of the more unique systems: Unique look and feel: There is nothing to hide - the VSKYLABS DC-3/C-47 projects are a mixture of a simplified yet very engaging design.Ĭompatible with the VSKYLABS 'Test-Pilot': C-47B Skytrain project liveries!Īdvanced avionics and autopilot: Fully featured glass cockpit avionics based on the LR G1000 (including the G1000 autopilot), along with complementary analog instrument gauges and navigation displays.Ĭomprehensive systems: All the relevant systems are being simulated. It is a perfect platform to recreate and fly historic routes using authentic performance. Workhorse for DC-3 pilot skills: Experience authentic flight performance and handling practices (takeoff, landing, single engine operations, flight planning, long range flights). 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 Simulation: Highly accurate performance and handling simulation of the DC-3. 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, and its follow-up DC-3 projects. 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 of operating 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.
