Great flight. Love the engine sounds. So happy you did not add music to the video as some guys tend to do. Also would have loved to see the gauges. I am a flight simmer (X-Plane 11.34) and dearly love the DC-3/C-47 (Aeroworx) available for that platform.
This aircraft, Douglas DC3, brings me pleasant memories, when I was military parachutist, at that time, if we compare it with the plane where I took the course, the trimotor Junker, was an innovation in technology and progress. In the only Junker did 6 jumps, the Douglas the cent and peaks that I made, therefore, I insist that it brings back pleasant memories, the latter was more fast, therefore the output of it had to do it with more power, there were no problems. These memories will remain in my mind while I live, or at least while it works the brain computer work. Gracias por rememorar estos gratos recuerdos. Saludo cordiales desde Huelva, sur oeste de España.
This is nice because I was wondering where the RPMs are set on landing. I've been landing in X-plane with props fully forward and I can only assume this also affects the angle of the blades as I'm having to use a lot of power at this setting and I can get a good 1500fpm descent at 20 inches manifold, as though they're like big air brakes. Not sure how accurate that is but I can see in this vid that the prop levers are set to about halfway, power idle and then props forward on touchdown.
