alternative panel configurations for the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum Simulations
(MAAM-SIM ) aircraft package ---------------------------------------------------- Requires
prior installation of the R4D-6/DC-3 package available from Mid-Atlantic Air
Museum Simulations (MAAM-SIM) at www.maam.org. Will not work with the default
FS2004 DC-3. These
unofficial modifications, in two versions, of the panel supplied for the DC-3
in the MAAM-SIM package are uploaded with their permission. In both versions everything is consolidated
on, or is accessible from, the Pilot's panel.
There is no FO position. Most features are accessible from the VC
also. Version 1
replaces the Sperry autopilot with a Bendix autopilot and adds an HSI
and RMI to the panel. Version 2
retains the Sperry but replaces the directional gyro with a more contemporary
gyro with Heading bug. This panel also
has an RMI and a conventional VOR1 gauge.
Both panels have several other enhancements including standby radios,
ATC panel, Roger Wilco switch panel, CD player, Timer, Windspeed readout, new
GPS 530, raised ECU, aircraft registration on panels, expanded mini-panel,
ServInfo gauge, hidden FS simicons and revised night lighting.. Download

the MAAM-SIM DC-3 in Atlantic Air Cargo liveries . Requires base package from

from KOPF and Miami International (KMIA) to destinations throughout the
Bahamas and Caribbean. N705GB was
purchased in 1984 from Guatemala. The
aircraft was in excellent condition and very low time for a DC-3. In 1994 N437GB was purchased in Honduras. At the time the aircraft was configured for
flying passengers in Central America.

FS2004/FS2002 MAAM-SIM XC-47C ‘DC-3 Airways’ bare metal and classic
liveries in passenger configuration ------------------------------------------------------- Requires
base package from
www.maam.org
and the complementary freeware add-on XC-47C from MAAM-SIM. The Douglas
XC-47C was a 1943 prototype attempt to create a viable amphibious version of
the workhorse C-47 by adding a pair of Edo Corporation Type 78 floats. with
each float having front and back retractable wheels and a 1,140 liter (300 US
gallon) fuel tank. Its flight performance, especially the takeoff, was less
than spectacular, and a trial with rocket assisted takeoff proved
unsatisfactory. Historical accounts vary on the number of amphibian Gooney
Birds that were actually put into service, although 150 sets of floats were
reportedly built for field installation. Most authorities cite five aircraft,
some of which were said to have been used in the Pacific and Alaskan theaters
for air-sea rescue missions. These
fictional repaints represent versions of the XC-47C in ‘DC-3 Airways’
colours. Download

aircraft was delivered to the USAAF as 41-68834 in July of 1943. A
DC-3A/C-53D-DO, she flew for Eastern Airlines as NC86562 until 1952. She was
converted to a float plane by Dick Folsom of Greenville, Maine, USA in 1976. Until her floats were removed recently, she
was the only remaining example of a DC-3 on floats in the world. Download

FS2004 MAAM-SIM DC-3 Fuel Tank Selection and Autolean Modification ---------------------------------------------------- Applicable only to the FS2004 MAAM-SIM DC-3 (available
from Mid Atlantic Air Museum Simulations at www.maam.org) or other planes
using the MAAM-SIM DC-3 AIRCRAFT.CFG and
MaamSim_DC3.air flight dynamics files.
The purpose of this gauge is to disable FS2004's default
characteristic of setting the fuel flow to the engines from "all"
tanks setting, and to simulate the correct auto-rich and auto-lean settings
on the mixture controls as desired.
