• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

AUTHENTIC FLIGHT MODEL VERSION 1.0 MICROSOFT DOUGLAS DC-3 (FS2004 ONLY) This flight model was developed to replace the stock Microsoft Douglas DC-3 aircraft in Flight Simulator 2004. It was created using the Authentic Flight Model method, which uses a wind tunnel program to analyze the airfoil and compute the coefficients of lift, lift curve, drag, and aircraft pitch moment with a great degree of accuracy. Highlights of this flight model include the following enhancements: -- Virtual Wind Tunnel analysis of the NACA 2200 series airfoil used on this aircraft -- Corrected fuel capacity (from 604 to 820 gallons) -- Corrected horsepower, torque, and thrust -- Accurate top speed, rate of climb, and cruise speeds -- Corrected payload placement for a more accurate CG With this flight model, the stock DC-3 is now a stable, predictable aircraft with the docile, forgiving flight dynamics for which it was so well-known, and its performance now matches its real-world counterpart. The revised performance figures are reflected in the new checklist and reference sheet; just refer to these documents for this information.
