144 views so far and nobody has made a comment to thank you for the effort /time required to make/edit and produce a video that we watched. Well flight brothers, thank you, I fly this craft a lot and from your video found a few things out that I did not know, please continue to make more on the DC3, like how to configure the maps to the tablet, etc.. Thank you. Porco Rosso.

This is the clearest and most direct overview of a plane I've yet found. Thanks. I'm fairly new to flight sim and the cockpit was a little daunting at first, but you got me up in the air in 25 minutes and I will definitely be spending more time with this machine. Cheers.

@@FlightBrothersFT No problem. I sub'd and plan on watching some more today. If you're open to suggestions, the Carenado PA-31T Cheyenne II is a lovely little plane that I haven't been able to find a ton of info on. Might be worth a vid? Just a thought! Look forward to watching more.

@FlightBrothersFT 5 лет назад

That’s a pretty good idea. Do you own the Cheyenne? If so, how is it? As you can imagine, we want “all the planes”, but....let’s say....budgetary constraints...tend to keep that from happening. We keep a substantial list of future video projects, so we never run out of ideas, but prioritizing them presents it’s own challenges.

Thanks for the video, I've been trying to figure out how to get the controls in the right position in order to start the engines and I finally got them both running after watching your video.

@jaysmith4302 4 года назад

Good video. The reason for the flaps up takeoff is so the plane will not get airborne well below the minimum single engine control speed. You want to get through this speed as soon as possible. If you lose an engine on takeoff below this speed, you're pretty much dead.

Jay Smith thanks for the info. Makes sense!

@twistedyogert 3 года назад

Always liked the look of those old piston driven airliners. Although jets are better, they just don't have the character of the old planes. The DC-3 almost seems alive, but modern jets just feel more like robots. I could never become a pilot because of medical reasons but I'm still an aviation enthusiast and might possibly buy a better computer and a multi axis joystick to try flight simulation.

@britishideas 2 года назад

Why did you pick GBN VOR when it is not between Tucson and Pinal Air Park? I am trying to understand this. I notice after you show the descent checklist your heading has changed from before the checklist. Did you decide when you got near to Pinal Air Park to stop going to the VOR?

@FlightBrothersFT 2 года назад

Good question. It has been 3 years since I did that flight, so I'm not sure what I was thinking.

@britishideas 2 года назад

@@FlightBrothersFT Thanks for that and the great video! I just wanted to see if I was missing something. Looking at the nav charts it seems setting the NAV radio to KTUS VOR and setting the CDI to 308 deg from KTUS would work for this flight?

@FlightBrothersFT 2 года назад

I'm not looking at the charts now to check you, but basically any VOR you are receiving can allow you to navigate as you can find the bearing to that station. The precision aspect of radio nav only really comes in if you're trying to stay on specific airways, fly a procedure, or fly an IFR plan. But if you are basically just cruising around you can just use any radio as a pointer to help you navigate to or from it.

Doesn't the DC-3 have a locking tail-wheel that I think is locked during take-off and unlocked for ground maneuvering? I didn't hear it mentioned.

@FlightBrothersFT 3 года назад

You are absolutely correct. This was an oversight I made at the time, leaving the tailwheel locked the entire time. If you would like some pointers on using the tailwheel correctly, check out our Lockheed Lodestar video where it is discussed in detail.

@MFD529 Год назад

Seeing that this tutorial was from 3 yrs ago I must assume you were using the ver AWXDC3Beta2_5XP11. I can start the aircraft without a problem I see fuel pressure as well. With the current version 3.2.3 I cannot get the aircraft started. I never see fuel pressure. Left & Right main tanks have fuel but I can't get anything started. Ayy tips would be welcome. Thanks :)

@FlightBrothersFT Год назад

Unfortunately I have not done anything with the newer versions. If you are following procedures correctly, it sounds like either a software glitch or perhaps some new feature requiring an extra step in procedures. Definitely worth checking the documentation on the current version and maybe googling if anyone else has similar issues. Good luck!

On take off the plane is difficult to hold or see impossible with the tail wheel locked? I have the same problem with the lockheed L18, plane well aligned yet? if anyone has an answer, take it.

@FlightBrothersFT 3 года назад

You definitely want the tail wheel locked on takeoff and landing. We had no issues controlling the takeoff roll with it locked. We discuss the issues with tailwheels and takeoff a bit more in our L18 video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pEXJFSXn2O4.html As well as our Stinson video.

@tomwaltermayer2702 Год назад

Thanks. Nostalgia time for me. Though a lot of stuff in this is not very realistic, and you, or the sim, skipped other important things. Why use TO flaps on 29L at KTUS? Completely unnecessary. Why go to full power against the brakes with 8400 (if memory serves) feet of asphalt in front of you, of which you'll need about 1/8th? Why use full power at all? (You're not paying for the engines--I get it.) You don't include the ballet of raising the gear, which is way more complicated, and more fun, than flicking a switch. Same with lowering it. Any DC-3 simulator w/o a bunch of hydraulic activity is woefully incomplete. A discussion of engines would be fun too--hi and low blowers, when to use; dash 92s vs 94s or even CW 1820s. I think TWA used 1820s on its first 3s, and maybe AA did too. If they're going to stick a GPS in this, why not go all the way and put in direction finding equipment and radio ranges? Then people could really pretend it was 1937.

Okay. Let's keep trying things until we find the problem. What happens if you use the drop down menu to command the engines to start? If that fails, check fuel supply. If that works, shut them back down manually (pull the mixture to cutoff) and then try to restart them yourself. Let us know if you have any luck, and if not try to be very specific about what you tried. Don't give up, it's probably something very small in the procedure, or perhaps a corrupted aircraft file at worst.
