The first I had heard about this interesting looking add-on was when the developer, Rob Cappers, posted on the Mutley’s Hangar forums about the new update for the FSX version. Computer networking notes hindi pdf. I had a look at the website and I was immediately captivated not just by the add-on, but the fact that the team donate all of the profits generated from sales to the Aviodrome theme park and Museum – which has one of the last two airworthy DC-2s in it’s collection. It is clear from the outset that this add-on has been created by enthusiasts to help keep the real aircraft in the skies.
Shortly after the forum post was made Rob Cappers emailed the Hangar asking if we would like to review the DC-2, this was one I couldn’t resist! History of the Douglas DC2 The DC-2 was released less than a year after the DC-1 and had the same familiar shape but was more powerful, faster and capable of longer flights. Most importantly for the airlines it was bigger so was able to carry more passengers (up to 14 from 12) and in it’s first 6 months of service set 19 American speed and distance records. In 1934 TWA started an overnight coast-to-coast flight from New York to LA which allowed business travellers to travel without losing a business day.
The DC-2 had a relatively short production run from 1934-1939 and only 200 were built before it was replaced by one of the most iconic aircraft ever; the DC3. The DC-2 was one of the first aircraft that showed passenger air travel could be comfortable, safe and reliable. To prove this KLM entered their first DC-2 (PH-AJU Uiver) into the October 1934 MacRobertson Air Race from London to Melbourne. With a flight time of 90 hours and 13 minutes it came 2nd out of 20 entrants, only beaten by the purpose build DeHavilland DH.88 racer Grosvenor House Download, Installation & Manual Download and installation is very easy using the Flight 1 wrapper system.

Bear in mind that the developers for the DC-2 are enthusiasts; they are not a large company with big resources to throw at their website. They’ve focused their attention on the add-on itself! I really enjoyed reading the manual (as sad as that sounds!). It isn’t overly long at 41 pages, and it covers everything you need to know in order to get this aircraft in the air. Each dial/switch is labelled and explained in a concise manner without any waffle.
It is worth paying particular attention to the section about the radio in order to be able to use it correctly. There is also a smaller manual included that walks you through the GPS system, which is slightly different to the default GPS. Whilst the original DC-2 would not have had a GPS it’s nice to see one included for simmers who may not want to navigate using traditional VOR/NDB methods.
