I have modified my instrument panel, fitted an HSI and RMI. Should do the trick, I can hand fly it well enough.

Rgr that Ady ;)

John Payne did gallons of paints for the FS9 DC3's.. perhaps enough to cover our entire fleet so you shouldn't be stuck for choice :cpu:

Out of interest are there any good third party DC3 models or just use FS9 default?

Indeed Colin.. I forget the R4D and have it sitting unloved in a dark corner of my FS9 drive. :(

Thanks for that Colin :thumbsup: As it happens, if/when I fly a DC3 in FSX, it's Manfred's v2 model but it's nice to know the MAAM model will port-over with the patches ;) I wish they'd do more with the Mitchell TBH. I really liked that in FS9 and while it's been temporarily patched for FSX.. a native version would be most welcome ;)
There can't be any more life left in the R4D.. I still have the original 2002 disc :-O
