Beautiful and probably the most sturdy all around general purpose aircraft ever produced. The fact that they were developed in the mid 1930's and are still flying today is a testament to that fact.
Glad to see that's the proper landing angle, I was trying to do landing flair shit in FSX and was getting frustrated I couldn't touch down with the back gear.
I've been having a hard time landing this plane in FSX as I tend to touch down and lift back up into the air. So, I had a theory on how to do it better. I figured if I land with full or near full flaps and then retract them as soon as I touch down I'll be able to stay on the ground without bouncing back up since the lift isn't there. Looks like that's what they do here so maybe I'm onto something. Love watching this plane fly though. :D
laserfloyd I seem to recall that with FSX and taildraggers, you need to go very slow. If the stall horn doesn't sound when you flare, you're going too fast! It's been ages since I've played FSX though (it keeps crashing!), so I might be wrong...
Yes, you got it right, retracting the flaps as soon as you touch down increases your stall speed and therefore reduces your chances of bouncing back up. If you do your final approach at 90 kts and start cutting power over the threshold and pull a little bit, you should reduce your touchdown speed to 80 or less, which leaves you without much energy to bounce.

I love watching older planes land it looks so different then the way they land now
I love the DC-3 and the sound of those ROUND engines!'
One of my all time favorite planes...up there with the Boeing 314. Majestic aircraft, whether stationary or in flight.
I flew on DC-3 twice in 1973. I love it.
A truly beautiful plane. One of my favorite. Someone at a local airport owns a blue/silver one. It always turns heads. :)
Such a beautiful and iconic bird 🦢
Such a unique sound
Oh I wished I have that one cause that is my favorite/dream aircraft.
Flew on this one :))
Great day!!!
beautiful aircraft 🙂
Lindo esse DC3
Grandma worked on this. They're still remanufacturing these in 2024.

I posted this comment a while ago and have already found out about the uiautomationcore.dll fix, but thanks anyway! :)

Just don't hit the brakes, easyyyy!!
That is mega. Is this plane still flying today? Would love to see and hear a DC-3 again.
Tolles Video - super gemacht!
Vielen Dank!
The DC-9 is the pinnacle of human technological achievement.
Os. modelos. DC. 3. sao. muitos. bonitos
❤
Lands 737 like that 737: What am i a joke to you im not a DC-3 737: Breaks landing gears on purpose
Engine Sound: Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp
I miss the old klm skin
