Douglas DC-3 Four Fuel Tank Conversion Kit

File Description:
The default FS2004 DC-3 is configured for three fuel tanks, whereas by design the C-47/DC-3 had four from which to draw. Many airlines using the DC-3 commercially blanked off, removed or never installed one tank in order to maximise payload; they were usually operating shorter routes than were typical of the C-47 in military service, This conversion kit gives the option of restoring the aircraft to four-tank configuration, giving greater range for long duration flights. Offering realistic fuel management, this option can replace your default configuration or, alternatively, add four-tank aircraft to your DC-3 collection. Note that this file will only be of use to those pilots who like to set up fuel and payload properly before a flight; pilots using default FS settings of maximum fuel and full payload will find that the aircraft is over maximum takeoff weight in this configuration.

Douglas DC-3 Three Fuel Tank Modification

File Description:
This gauge and modification is applicable only to the FS2004 DC-3. Its purpose is to disable FS2004's default characteristic of setting the fuel flow to the engines from "all" tanks. There is no "all" setting on a real DC-3. This gauge will disable the fuel flow from "all" tanks, by checking to see if the selection is in the "all" position and if so, changing it to supply fuel to the left engine from the left main tank, and fuel to the right engine from right main tank. It means, however, that you must remember to manually switch tanks to use fuel from all of them during the flight.

It includes the latest edition of Mark Beaumont's 'IFR' panel and incorporates Beaumont and Bitzer's 4-tank "no ALL tanks" and automixture modifications. Support documentation explains what changes have been made to make the plane fly more closely to the published specifications for the real DC-3, vintage 1939. Supplied with "Century of Flight" Centennial markings on a bare metal livery in restored condition, this aircraft will appear in a fresh aircraft folder to which you can add other texture sets in the usual way.

DC-3 Single IFR Panel Comms Pack Update 2.3

File Description:
This package may appeal to those who fly the DC-3 or other aircraft in multiplayer using Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumont's IFR panel. The modification was initially designed for the very active virtual airline 'DC-3 Airways' (www.dc3airways.com). It updates this panel to be able to change either preset 'Teamspeak' or 'Roger Wilco' frequencies from within the cockpit with no task switch, depending on which Comms software is in use at the time. That said, the new 'Roger Wilco' switch gauge included can be added to any panel, allowing switching of preconfigured 'Roger Wilco' frequencies with no requirement for additional software other than 'Roger Wilco' itself. Offered with choice of white or orange Bendix-style readout. To use the 'Teamspeak' gauge, which appears as a light on the COM2 panel and can be switched using dialed frequencies, 'Teamspeak' Client and 'FSTSTuner' software are required. Full details are in the README.

Douglas DC-3 Three Fuel Tank Automixture Gauge

File Description:
For three-tank operation, this gauge may be of interest to those pilots who like to fly without checking the "Enable automixture" function in the "Aircraft/Realism Settings" pull-down menu, but want more DC-3 realism than can be achieved with FS2004's simulation of mixture control. It requires prior installation of Beaumont and Bitzer's Douglas DC-3 Three Fuel Tank Modification, to be found in DC3_3TK.ZIP. Its purpose is to replicate the auto-rich and auto-lean settings on the mixture controls, including a fully functional mixture control. Its calibrated range of operation is from 3000 to 12000ft. density altitude. In the auto-rich position, it approximates the checked "Enable automixture" setting on the "Aircraft/Realism Settings" menu. In the auto-lean position, the mixture is leaned to increase the exhaust gas temperature about 30 degrees K. from auto-rich, and will increase achieved miles per gallon.
