AVIONICS 

- We understand that the developers of the F1 GTN suite will no longer be developing for P3D.

They are also no longer supporting the package.

- This means that if you own the F1 GTN suite and use it in the DC-3, it will not function in V5+

You can continue to use it in V4.5.

- Therefore, we have removed reference to this package from the panels in V5.2 as there may be issues with crashing and freezing, due to incompatibility.

 - The RealityXP range of products remains available and will function well with the DC-3 in V4.5 or V5+ and it is not difficult to transition to these, using the basic

panel.cfg entries from V4.5, copied and pasted to the panel.cfg of the V5+ version of the DC-3.

v1.3 - 15/12/2020

- Several model improvements including adjustments to the gear geometry and other small fixes

- Some texture improvements to existing liveries and the addition of four new liveries – KLM, British United Airways, Aer Lingus and Buffalo Airways.

- New model variant added. This is the ‘ViewMaster’ variant, especially popular in Australia. The ViewMaster had two pairs of side windows replaced by ‘panorama’ windows with associated facing seats to take in wide expansive views of the world outside. Based on the American DC-3 fuselage, the passenger door was re-positioned to the left side to match the standard British layout.

- Additional improvements have also been made to the system code to correct some lighting errors.
