Thanks to XFalcon750 for giving us the heads up on this awesome freeware Basler BT-67 by Manfred Jahn

Great shots Chuck

Great shots Chuck!  You beat me to this!  I D/L'd this beauty last nite and before I knew it twas like 4am and time to drag my backside to bed.

The only thing I didn't like about it was the sound...aliased to the KingAir.  I changed that (thanx to learning how to do that sorta thing from the smart folks around here) to alias one of my P-38s.  Although I may hafta change that to maybe the Convair 580 or somethin' similar.  The Lightning soundset is just a little too over the top.

The KingAir alias just seemed a little small-ish of a package for this awesome bird.

Lovely shot of an awesome freeware.

@JP......I never use the spot or locked spot views. Always use the external aircraft views.
Here are my external aircraft views.

Ahh,ok thanks,I always use the FSrecorder tower views.

But how do you lower and raise the skis on the basler?

There is a lever marked "skis"

Great shots as always chuck.

Yes, how do you get those Angels? LOL. Sorry, I had to!

Very nice set of screens!!

Great shots Chuck.

Sonic Solutions - DC3 75th Anniversary Sound Pack

I bought it and must say, it is top notch. I used it with the excellent freeware c-47 and now with this.

Radial sounds sorta wouldn't match this puppy though. 

purchased the recommended twin otter sound pack from sonic solutions but i wonder if the dc 3 would require larger turbo prop engines with a little fuller sound......there must be some larger turbo prop planes, one could alias the sounds too ....any experts here?
kind of a shock to hear our beloved dc-3 sound like a nitro r/c plane...
how about the viscount turbo prop?....oops i just discovered it's aliased to the beech king-air 350

Wonderful set Chuck...very nice...

You knew I would ask about the skis...

I think all the ski aircraft I flew had ski settings for several reasons and one being braking.

Ski Settings
Up...wheel only landing
1/4 ski
1/2 ski
3/4 ski
Full ski...ski only landing

Full ski was quite useful for checking out lakes, to set caches for use when the ice broke up or melted.

Would approach the lake with Full Ski and do a power on touch down and run for the length required for a take off.

Could get quite rough and bumpy...

Take off and do a circuit.

Second Approach...low and slow...Precautionary Approach...

If you see any dark spots where your Full Ski touch and go was then don't land...probably water or ice just not safe enough to land...

I am wondering how many settings there are for the skis on this simulated turbo DC3 Chuck?

I am also wondering Chuck, if your aircraft disappears through the ice does it come out the back of your monitor with water?    :-?      ::)      :-X      

This one only has 2 settings (I think...) doug,skis and no skis.

That's correct.......better than no adjustment though
