The Basler, or if you prefer, the turbo-DC3. Maybe it is my mistake, but I could not find not even one of those as a sim-airplane. Now, I believe that doing sometghing so radical as messing with THE Douglas DC-3 it is kind of a heresy

but... Well, I'v been reading about the work they do, and it is, of course, of very high quality AND keeps a lot of DC-3 airframes airworthy; to judge Basler's work it is behind the point here. Anyway, I must admit I prefer to see a DC3 with all the radials and the 3-blade proppelers... And I think it could be a lot of people that feels a bit like "an heresy" modifying a DC3... Do you guys suppose tght's the reason there is no Baslers for the FS's?

Hummmm ~ Ummmm ,,, I dunno' about all the Turbo Stuff, but JUST FLIGHT offers a fairly decent DC-3 in a Box and Download version for which I just ordered both the DC-3 and the DC-6 Box version should be here shortly this week hopefully. You might want to check and see what the DC 3 of JUST FLIGHTS exactly is one of their models might be Turbo'd ??? or go to my YOU TUBE channel and on the LEFT side of my profile page you'll see all kinds of web site links for lots of different flight sim aircraft and scenery, both FREEWARE and Payware - try searching thru those maybe ?? heres my YOU TUBE Channel ------} http://www.youtube.com/user/IFLYWINGS?feature=mhee

Please do NOT link images, it slows the forums down for other users.

Manfred Jahn is making a Basler BT-67 for FSX & FS9, it's in Beta testing now. The Turbo-Dak is different, it's got different engines on it but it's still based on the '3.

Hi Jetranger. I'v satrted to look around your Tube Channel and as you have said there is a lot of things to look at there - my guess is I'll be spending some time following those links there and enjoying the vids - thanks!

Manfred Jahn is making a Basler BT-67? Now that is something. If you dont mind me asking Andy, do You happen to know if the pit and interiors will be original or based in the "fsx standard" DC3?

It will be interesting to compare the BT-67 with the DC3, as I understand the flying dynamics must be completely different (different dimensions, power, weight etc...).

And, Andy, you happen to have some idea about someone who could put the good word for me to be one of those beta-testers? Wink

You can find out more about it here:
http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63780

Manfred is making a new VC for this because the Basler’s have newer avionics than the default DC3.

While it’s cool that Manfred is making this, the person who did the textures, Daniel Fürnkäß has announced that this will be his last freeware project due to some moron whose middle toe was bigger than his brain saying that Daniel’s repaints weren’t any good.

Thanks for the link Andy, awesome images there! I love the job they are doing and I'm looking forward to try it. I wish I had somuch talent and knowledge!

About Daniel and the so-called comments from the moron you refered, well... in another thread here, someone commented about the recent onslaught towards freeware developpers... Angry

It almost looks as if someone is making a "campaign" against freeware developpers... Angry

Let's hope Daniel (and all other freeware developpers God bless them)dont let themselves be discouraged by foul comments. Undecided

They weren't the first to do it! British European Airways operated the RR Dart engined "Pionair" Dakota derivative in the 1950s. Looks far tidier than the Basler too.
