Had a great time playing around with this last night
I reckon this was probably the one I saw recently:

Interestingly enough, it was coming from the direction of Duxford and heading towards Coningsby - so highly likely.

Your liveries are definitely going to help bring this to life. I wonder, is there anything a livery maker such as yourself can do to touch up the interior? I took a look at the DDS files in use and it seems the main issue is that they are very low resolution. I don’t know if it’s possible for anyone other than the dev to allow it to support higher resolution textures.

There’ll be an update this weekend, maybe the interior will get a makeover.
No it won’t, it’s just a couple of bug fixes.

That’s OK by me! I’ve been doing a bit of tweaking myself and have just completed a short flight under AI Pilot control from takeoff to parking - the “end flight” statistics screen has just popped up.
The only change I’d really like is clearer glass. I’m finding that a bit distracting.
I’ll pick up some higher res liveries when they arrive. Maybe some brakes that work too but perhaps that’s accurate.

I’ll see what I can do about the glass.
The brakes are tricky as it’s already very easy to nose over, so increasing the brakes effect will make it even more so!
Just a general point, this model was originally made for FS2004, then upgraded a couple of times for FSX, and now for MSFS, so it’s not surprising some parts & textures are showing their age. If anyone wants to rework the VC textures then be my guest, but I’m not planning on making any major changes to the model.

To prevent the nose-over on braking, I added 6 passengers at 170lbs each and 85lbs baggage weight about 2ft behind the rear seats (also because a few suitcases appear by the cargo door when it’s open). I changed the toe brake strength from 0.23 to 0.33 and the differential brake strength from 1 to 0.33.

I hope to start uploading over the weekend, maybe earlier.
I have no plans to tackle the interior, I’m more an outside person…

Regardless, it’s a joy to fly and honestly I don’t mind the interior much, thanks for releasing it!

Oooh classic Air France 
I like the glass as is. Don’t change please.
VH-UEX, a DH84 in reality but close enough to the DH92 to replicate. Was fully restored, and I saw it fly at a local air show. Sadly the owner, 5 passengers and the aircraft were lost in an accident in 2012 in bad weather.

Ken, try this. I think Duxford also do one where you fly in formation with a Spitfire 
I’ve uploaded a first batch on flightsim.to:

Thankyou Jankees.
National airways corp DH 89 is bringing back memories of DC3s taking off on the grass in my home town.
If I ever get back to the UK, that would be great!
