What about the Beaver? Is that yours in the trailer? Looks like it judging by that canoe (I am pretty sure I saw it in your screenshots).
Manfred has retired from flightsim development. I’m a minor member of his beta team and have that from him directly. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news about the C-47/DC-3. But I’d say he’s earned his time off.

Hey, Ralf - good to see you here!
I thought the AH DC-3 was pretty decent once they fixed the startup and the hamburger-door-open-for-engine-start thing, so I’m guardedly optimistic about this one.

Couldn’t agree more!
Even the PMDG DC-3 (if/when they get around to it) will take second place to Manfred’s.
Haven’t yet tried the Redwing. But the 247 is fantastic - closest thing we’ve got to a successor.
Drifting off topic, though, so I’ll just say - I hope AH and Asobo deliver.

If anyone has missed it, the DC-3 should be coming out in November as part of a Fight Simulator 40th Anniversary pack and it will be FREE! Looks awesome

I’ll definitely have a look at the Redwing. Though my experience with the PMDG DC-6 is that, excellent as it is, it needs formal flight planning and management of the profile. That’s more work than I often have time for, and speaking personally, I don’t find it relaxing. It’s work.
Whereas rumbling along at 5,000 feet…
Which is why we need this DC-3 to come out right…

Exactly!
I love the DC-6 but it‘s not a casual after-work bird.
Now, there is the Goose and the Boeing, but I‘m really longing for a larger twin radial like the Dakota (wouldn’t mind a C-46 or C-119 either).
Just too bad it’s still months away…

My sentiments, exactly. “Study-level” - no thank you.
Microsoft flight simulator and Aeroplane heaven are designing it together!
I’m wondering if they are going to use a 1mm accurate 3D scan from the Smithsonian’s DC3 / C47 or at least compare the AH model to one. I would expect that both partners and the Smitty want to present their best for the 40th Anniversary Edition
Is there any info about how detailed it’s going to be?
I kinda doubt that. More like Aeroplane Heaven are designing it, and Microsoft bought it and sticks it in the game. After all this was a regular 3rd party project before the 40th Anniversary announcement.
Please correct me if I’m wrong.

All the other planes where they did the 1mm measuring were created by 3rd party developers as well. It is possible. Whether or not they did is the question.

The developer has the ability to submit a patch to MS.
