The Basler, or if you prefer, the turbo-DC3. Maybe it is my mistake, but I could not find not even one of those as a sim-airplane. Now, I believe that doing sometghing so radical as messing with THE Douglas DC-3 it is kind of a heresy but... Well, I'v been reading about the work they do, and it is, of course, of very high quality AND keeps a lot of DC-3 airframes airworthy; to judge Basler's work it is behind the point here. Anyway, I must admit I prefer to see a DC3 with all the radials and the 3-blade proppelers... And I think it could be a lot of people that feels a bit like "an heresy" modifying a DC3... Do you guys suppose tght's the reason there is no Baslers for the FS's?

Hummmm ~ Ummmm ,,, I dunno' about all the Turbo Stuff, but JUST FLIGHT offers a fairly decent DC-3 in a Box and Download version for which I just ordered both the DC-3 and the DC-6 Box version should be here shortly this week hopefully.  You might want to check and see what the DC 3 of JUST FLIGHTS exactly is one of their models might be Turbo'd   or go to my YOU TUBE channel and on the LEFT side of my profile page you'll see all kinds of web site links for lots of different flight sim aircraft and scenery, both FREEWARE and Payware - try searching thru those maybe ?? heres my YOU TUBE Channel ------} http://www.youtube.com/user/IFLYWINGS?feature=mhee

Manfred Jahn is making a Basler BT-67 for FSX & FS9, it's in Beta testing now. The Turbo-Dak is different, it's got different engines on it but it's still based on the '3.

Manfred Jahn is making a Basler BT-67? Now that is something. If you dont mind me asking Andy, do You happen to know if the pit and interiors will be original or based in the "fsx standard" DC3?

It will be interesting to compare the BT-67 with the DC3, as I understand the flying dynamics must be completely different (different dimensions, power, weight etc...).

And, Andy, you happen to have some idea about someone who could put the good word for me to be one of those beta-testers?

They weren't the first to do it! British European Airways operated the RR Dart engined "Pionair" Dakota derivative in the 1950s. Looks far tidier than the Basler too.
