With what will hopefully be the final beta on final, it's time for a few screenshots! I'm not going to give a full list of features, though you might see something new in the screenshots... :engel016:

The DC-2 after which the virtual aircraft was modelled, the ' Uiver' replica that resides in the Aviodrome museum in Lelystad:

That looks almost tempting enough for a "one fanner" to become adulterous...

I can only hope we'll also get a paint without the goodyear logo?

Already done, Jankees! ;)

Eight liveries ready so far, thanks to Tim! :applause:

KLM Neutrality orange, Aviodrome (With Goodyear stickers), Uiver (Without), Johnson air service, Braniff, TWA, RAAF and CLS. Don't know yet which will be in the basepack though.

Also two different models; a version as she currently resides in Lelystad, and a more classic model with the old radios, less antennae and the early model's smaller tail.

very nice!

We had 40 liveries for the FS9 version, and we will have more for the FSX version. This includes the "old" UIVER too ;-)

What Ferror doesn't know, it that we have a third model, with the bigger tail, but for the rest the old VC and pax door. Also with old style antenna's.:d

Thanks for you nice replies, I can only say s**n now:kilroy:

Carefull guys, very stupid question incomiing:
What is the difference between a DC-2 and a DC-3 ? :monkies:
Sorry my knowledge is quite limited and until now I knew only about the DC-3. This DC-2 looks so similar. Is the DC-3 simply an evolution of the DC-2 ? (like, more powerfull, or anything else ?)

Daube, no such thing as a stupid question.

The DC-2 was the forerunner of the DC-3. It was smaller, less powerful and carried less passengers than the DC-3.

Thanks a lot for the explanation :ernae:

Hi Daube,

Some more differences:
DC2: two rows of 7 seats, DC3: 3 rows of 7 seats
DC2: fuselage with straight sides, DC3: round fuselage
Center section is indentical (you can even bolt a DC2 wing to a DC3: cool story here: http://www.cnac.org/aircraft02.htm)
DC3: bigger wingspan
DC3: improved tail section. The DC2 had quite bad lateral behaviour, but during time the tail was improved, untill it reached it's final form in the DC3.
In it's day, the DC2 was a very revolutionary airplane, hence my motto:
No DC3 without the DC2:ernae:
