Thanks for responding U-Chief88! I would love to see a Mod that comes out to get your “stamp of approval”, saying “yup! That’s pretty much what it’s like!!” DC3 or A310-300 for that matter! Any livery for the DC3 that makes you feel at home? I’d be interested in whatever mod you come up with.
A few years ago, my neighbor friend, who flew A319s and A320s for Spirit, and another friend of his who flew the DC9 for a fire fighting outfit here at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway came over to check out my simulator. At the time I was running XP11 with some add-on software for the A320. I was almost afraid they were going to laugh at the quality of the sim, but as it turned out, both were very impressed, and started getting consumed in practicing emergency procedures and then fire fighting strategies. They only found a few minor inaccuracies with the FMC (MCDU), and a few other things. Boy I got to tell you (as my wife would certainly verify) I was smiling with a huge grin, ear to ear!..lol. Brad even told me that with the set up I had, it would be a great way for a guy to prepare to level up. Anyway, I don’t know if you’d agree with him, but it was a good feeling to have an IRL pilot validate that you’re not just wasting your time with “a game”. I have only 145 hrs spread between the 152, 172 and Piper Archer and Cherokee, but I think its enough to say these sims do a pretty good job as a training tool to run through procedures, and now with MSFS w/ Bing to help identify those land marks before you go flying., Thanks again for your response. I’d be interested in any other perspectives you have on the above. Does Duckworks Mod get your stamp of approval? Dave
