Optional modern avionics - dual GNS 530, S-TEC autopilot, AviTab compatibility.Sperry Autopilot - Old school autopilot is configured.Landing gears and flaps simulation - are being simulated with a high level of authenticity.Engines/propeller systems - designed with fully featured, functioning and authentic propeller feathering system, for highly realistic single engine simulation.Blown tires are also being visualized and simulated. Stressing the airframe will result also in severe damage, following a visual representation of the damages. Engine mishandling will result in severe damage to the engine/engine fire.


Aircraft performance and handling qualities were designed and tested in a "Research level" approach and went through a validation process of hundreds of flight testing and evaluation, tested and refined by real-world C-47 pilot.

Highly Realistic Handling and Flight Performance DC-3/C-47 Simulation: Highly accurate performance and handling simulation of the DC-3/C-47, along with a full set of traditional/old school navigation and autopilot systems. Project is 'VR Ready' for use with X-Plane: VR functionality is a part of the project aspects which are constantly under evaluation and development for reaching higher level of immersion as the VR features and possibilities are growing.

These characteristics of the DC-3/C-47 are fascinating, and were among the triggers for coming up with the idea of creating the VSKYLABS C-47 Skytrain Flying Performance/Research Lab project for X-Plane. It was able to cross the United States, and made transcontinental flights and worldwide flights possible. It is a twin-engine all-metal monoplane, capable to operate from short runways at remote places. Its great performance - range of approximately 1500 miles and speed of above 200 Miles per Hour, revolutionized air transportation in the 1930's and 1940's. The DC-3/C-47 is a fixed-wing propeller-driven airliner.
