This is a modification to the MSFS 2020 default Microsoft Douglas DC-3 aircraft and is primarily aimed at improving the aircraft flight model to make its overall performance more closely match the actual aircraft, providing a much closer experience to flying the real aircraft. Multiple changes have been made to the flight model parameters, and the aircraft weight and balance, which are detailed in the Change Log file included under the Documentation folder.
This mod is easily installed by simply unzipping the download file and copying the mge-microsoft-aircraft-dc3 folder to the MSFS Community folder. It will then replace the existing default Douglas DC-3 aircraft in the MSFS aircraft selection screen, and will also continue to utilize all of the available liveries. To uninstall the mod and return to using the MSFS default aircraft, simply remove it from the Community folder.

Fly DC-3 thanks the creator MGouge of this excellent mod. Well documented. Highly recommended for use with MSFS 2020. A real enhancement for flight simulation.

Great job! Now I feel like I have more control over the aircraft when landing, instead of spinning out on the runway! She takes off much smoother as well.

Tip of the Day: A BEACON light switch has finally been added to the upper switch panel in the latest update from Aeroplane Heaven. Go to CONTENT MANAGER and install the update for the Enhanced DC-3, which is available for free in the MARKET PLACE.

Do we have opening cargo and passengers doors with this mod ?
1 years ago
Yes... The doors are controlled by the 3 switches labelled LANDING GEAR, located at the bottom of the panel behind the copilot yoke. This is the same functionality as the default aircraft.

Thank you for this, is it compatible with Imenes's Duckworks DC-3 ?
1 years ago
Since both mods change the flight model, they are not compatible.

Tip of the Day: For easier and more precise speed control while taxiing, leave one engine at idle and slowly advance the throttle on the other one. If there is any wind present always use the upwind engine only, to help counter the crosswind yaw and reduce the amount of rudder needed to maintain directional control.

Tip of the Day: To make the smallest minimum radius turn possible when leaving a tight ramp parking spot, apply full rudder and then slowly advance only the throttle for the opposite engine until the aircraft just begins to slowly turn. Applying the brake on only one wheel while stopped doesn't work correctly in MSFS, and will prevent the aircraft from moving at all.
<EDIT>: SU12 has fixed the previous differential braking bug, so you can now apply the brakes on just one wheel to turn even sharper.
