So I have been playing Air Hauler lately, I want to install a custom plane, I want a PMDG J41 or something like it. Also something that can hold a lot and go a good distance, any help?

Ya,, you probably wouldn't like my idea of Cargo planes, their old, loud, smokey,, and cool looking,,, but,, you probably like that newer stuff.

but,, ya might like the C-46 Commando's,, maybe - Dunno'

I like, does it have auto-pilot for the long flights?

Yip, it has Auto pilot,, and a virtual cockpit

and Cargo area too

and can land in tight airports & filelds

Grab it and go se if you like it , if not, try somethin else,,,,

Go for Captain Sim's C-130. My personal favorite.

For some reason I love the DC-3.

Watch this video to get in the feeling for a "modern" DC-3 flight.


NOTE - On my computer YouTube STARTS several minutes into the video. I hope that it's only a problem on my system. If it happens on your system just manually reset it to the beginning.

Here ya go !!!

a True CARGO Hauler !!

after YOU SEE THIS !!!

My favourite is the Fairchild C123 Provider..."Air America!*.... ...!

Twin Radials, with a twin rocket boost for short-field take-offs!

Excellent wheel arrangement for remote, rough, landing strips, and a BIG cargo hold!

Excellent Panel. (Added the full Bendix-King Radio Stack from the Beech Baron 58, with Autopilot)

...and quite fast!

Paul....FS 2004...With Robert Downey Jr, as a Co-pilot...!... ...!

* ...as seen in the Film; "Air America".... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099005/

I agree with Fozzer.
The Fairchild 123 is the ultimate STOL aircraft of its era and was able to carry a lot of cargo.

:O I love the thing, I had problems installing it with the link you sent me, any other ways?

Try this FSX De Havilland CC-115 (DHC-5) Buffalo, by Premair. Canadian Forces use them for Search and rescue, but they are an excellent STOL cargo 'plane for remote locations. Search Simviation files.

Well I have to admit I'm partial to the Aero Commander, because I used to fly them. If you're just asking about the flight simulator I still think nothing beats the good old DC-3. Try it on some short fields if you want a challenge.

Surprised no one mentioned the DC-4/ C-54; long legs, plenty of pop and chips space. Of course, it depends on the mission. Milton Shupe made a Cargo version of the Grumman C-1 Trader that's pretty cool. There's also the Howard 500
Cargo version.

Me? I'd stick with the good old De Se Tres... that vid BTW is the BOMB! There are a lot of DC-3 vids out there like that one; real bush flying!
