The purpose of this mod is to make a "Cargo" variant of the DC-3 distinguishable from the "Passenger" variant for use in Virtual Airlines that use the NewSky platform.
This mod:
- Takes the default DC-3 "cargo" model, which is normally linked to an individual livery, and splits it to a unique simObject name to be detectable by NewSky (douglas-dc3-cargo).
- Increases the MTOW of the PAX DC-3 from 26,200lbs to 29,300lbs as verified in the AH DC-3 Manual. MLW is still 26,000lbs.
- Changes CG loading station names to reflect that of a cargo/WWII configuration.
The included "Metal" livery uses the "unrestored" panel (NO GNS/KAP140 units).
The included "White" livery uses the "modern" panel (WITH GNS/KAP140 units).
Performance Notes:
MTOW Takeoff Distance: 5000ft/1524m of usable runway.
MTOW Takeoff to clear 50ft obstance 7100ft/2160m of usable runway
Takeoff at MTOW with 8° of NOSE DOWN trim, rolling back slowly as you climb out.
The tail will get light at 70mph, hold the nose DOWN or the aft cg at MTOW will stall/strike the tail.
Vr 90mph seems to work - Accelerate to 120mph climb speed.
As all assets used here are included in the Standard edition of MSFS this mod is shared under Microsoft's Usage Rights/Game Content Usage Rules.
TAKE NOTE: As of V1.2 the mod REQUIRES Duckworks Improvement Mod in order for lights and effects to work properly.
V1.4
- Changed default W&B loading arrangements for better CG management (more neutral CG balance)
