Default DC-3 Fixes

FSX' default Douglas DC-3 contains a few bugs, but as its 3ds Max source file is included in the FSX SDK as a sample aircraft, these can be fixed without too much hassle. Since the opportunity presented itself, I've also thrown in some enhancements.

Features

Fixes

  • Switch positions for the boost pump switches fixed

  • Panel night lighting fixed and improved

  • The fuel tank selector for the right engine works as intended now

  • "Fasten Seatbelt" switch now works as it should

  • "Lock tailwheel" lever now moves in the correct direction

  • Carburetor heat levers are now operable

  • Fuel cutoff levers are now operable

Enhancements

  • Right engine and wing visible from the VC

  • Patched up some holes so the DC-3 can be flown from the right seat now

  • The cabin model from the exterior is now accessible in VC mode

  • More switches on the right overhead (that do more or less useful stuff)

  • "GPU" to support extended startup procedures

  • Passenger cabin lights are now independent from the cockpit flood lights

This add-on is 64 bit (P3D v4, FSW) compatible!
