Maybe someone has any ideas but my dc3 has a weird setup apparently wondering if anyone can help me out or maybe it's a bug but where P Gatcombs "desired heading" knob is mine says "Gyro Drift" where his "Heading Hold" mine says "Desired Heading" and does not allow me to pull or push the knob. When I match my Gyro drift and twist the heading hold it does nothing. The knob he says does not work, works for me and that is "Bank Adjust" for me and that where I figured out I can command how steep of a bank I want but it does not hold any heading I had selected. Maybe this was some update that was released? So far I have managed to sit and do circles in one spot and can't get the aircraft to remain a straight course nor have I figured out how to command a turn and have it stop the turn appropriately?.
You are stalling on takeoff. After getting a little speed, push the yoke forward to get the tail up in the air so that the angle of attack is not so high. That way you can get traveling faster and get up above stall speed before liftoff. Use rudder and a small amount of differential power aggressively to correct any drifting to one side of the other. Once the plane starts to react to your correction, you must begin correcting in the opposite direction aggressively to counter momentum.
How come when I look, learn, enjoy and formost listen to this great video - and some others - I clearly can hear that absolutely great sound from the engines, to which I am quite hooked on to. When I learn the DC-3 and fly around sitting in the "office", it doesn't sound like that at all, it goes from a soft piston sound when starting and taking off - to a kind of rustling with just a little bit of engine sound far in the background. When the camara is outside it sounds ok .. but inside they are barely audible, and that's where I work ;) Any suggestion as to what my "problem" could be? Eddit; Found it, played around with some sound settings in "Genaral Options" Now I'm wondering ... when will I stop flying the DC-3 ;)
It makes the rattling sounds when the aircraft its struggling for speed/height, you will get that in the climb, also below 100 mph, also with gear down and flaps. Once you get to cruise and set that up it works great and sounds disappear. Its part of the fact its an old aircraft and its part of the reaslism . Cowl flaps also have a buffeting effect if left open, you can close them after take off and remove that "buffeting " noise . :) or trail , your choice
