Have fun trying the demo in our latest version - FSFS PRO 2014 for FSX/FS2004 (v7.4.2)
Learn to fly this legend like a PRO!
(Requires FSFlyingSchool PRO 2014 for FSX/FS2004)
Look at these features!
The following is a list of different stages of flight in which events will cause your instructor to talk to you, with specific reference to the Douglas DC3 you are flying.
Cold and Dark
[Shortly after flight starts on ground]
Advice that both generators must be on.
[Shortly after flight starts on ground with master battery on]

Starting Engines
[Engine start attempted with master battery switch off]
Advice that the master battery switch must be on when starting the engines.
[Engine start attempted with its magnetos not set to both]

[Taking off and an engine lost]
Reminder that vYSE best rate of climb with 1 engine is 110 KIAS.
[Shortly after takeoff]
Reminder that if heavy turbulence is encountered the aircraft must be at or below maneuvering speed and that this will decrease as fuel is used.
[Cruise climb]
Advice that for this aircraft typical cruise climb settings are 35 IMP, 2,350 RPM.

Reminder that propeller control levers need to be at high RPM (fully forward) for landing.
[Descent to landing and mixture levers not set]
Reminder that mixture levers need to be at auto-rich (fully forward) for landing.
[Descent to around 600 feet AGL while landing]
Advice to use pitch to control airspeed and power to control rate of descent during approach and landing.

Advice that you typically want to land with full flaps around 85 KIAS.
[Descent to around 400 feet AGL while landing]
Reminder to touchdown with around 5 degrees nose up pitch.
[Descent to around 300 feet AGL while landing]
Reminder that throttles should be idle at touchdown.
[Descent to around 400 feet AGL while landing]
Reminder to flare at about 10 to 15 feet above the runway and to lift the nose to land on your main gear first, lower the tail gently and use minimum braking required.
