ColR1948 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Jan, I have a DC2 somewhere on my disks but if I remember rightly it isn't very good, in your opinion which would you say is the best one to get, freeware or payware I don't mind paying if it is a good one?

jankees Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 https://www.aerosoft.com/en/flight-simulation/flight-simulator-2004/aircraft/1696/dc-2 This is the one you want, if you're still on FSX. Not sure it it works in P3D Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Thank you Jan, I think I have that somewhere but if I remember something was either missing because I tried to paint it one time and it was something about the nose section that gave me trouble, it was ages ago now, so maybe over time something got corrupted I don't know.

peer01 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) I still have the 2004 MAAM sim DC-2 and FSX one by the "Uiver" team (both were payware with numerous freeware repaints). I saw a lot of pics from the one JK advised, and I think he's right. :) Edited November 20, 2021 by peer01 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Please click on the pick to enlarge: This is a pic of the MAAM Sim payware DC-2 for FS2004 with a freeware paint. It works OK in FSX. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColR1948 Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Thanks Jan, I'll take a look and let you know. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Jan I found this freeware one, the The Maam Sim one I wanted because it flies in both FS9 and FSX I think but couldn't find it to buy, so I'll hang on and keep looking but this will do for now.

ColR1948 Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) Well it had the little light on the nose and it says it is a DC2: [fltsim.0] title=Douglas DC-2 sim=Douglas_DC2 model= panel= sound= texture=LAPE1 atc_id=LAPE ui_manufacturer=Douglas ui_type=DC-2 ui_variation=LAPE ui_typerole=Bimotor de hélice ui_createdby= description= Sucesor natural del DC-1, el Douglas DC-2 fué un robusto avión bimotor de pistones, totalmente metálico, mayor y más rápido que su antecesor, cuya posterior evolución dió origen al inmortal DC-3. En el momento de su diseño compitió con el Boeing-247. Dispuso de diversos motores (desde el radial Wright de 690 hp -515 kW- hasta el Wright R-1820-53 radial de 1200 hp -895 kW-). 14 pasajeros, 2 o 3 tripulantes. Primer vuelo el 11-Mayo-1934. Poco después quedó segundo en la carrera de velocidad para aviones en USA. En 1935, durante la época de la república Española, 5 ejemplares pasaron a incrementar la flota de la compañÃa LAPE (LÃneas Aéreas Postales Españolas). Prestaron servicio en la lÃnea Madrid - Burdeos - Paris. Unless the person who made it just modded the DC3 a little, you maybe right Jan I don't know.

peer01 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Certainly not a DC-2, no landing lights in the nose, It has DC-3 engines.... Perhaps it's a DC-2,5? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColR1948 Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Yes Jan you are right it seems, it has a light but only a small one in the nose, I think the person who made it just added a light to make it look like a DC2 but he should have added 2 lol. I'll keep looking. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) It was no landing light: look what older 3's and C-47's had on their nose, it's a nose valve to shut off ram air. But I've seen one with a glowing red light from that spot. Edited November 20, 2021 by peer01 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Again you are the master Jan, I found another model by the same guy and when I looked in the model file it was a DC3. Can't kid you can we Jan lol. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
