Very recently a new developer came to our attention who have been working on bringing the Douglas DC-3 to X-Plane. VSKYLABS Aerospace has released version 001.1, which is compatible with X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10.51. The project is “under development”, with many features and attributes still being worked on. According to the product page, the following areas are being worked on:
Flight dynamics model refinements, 3D Model and texture works, systems integration, FMOD sounds and more.
When an update is released, an update will be pushed to all users through the VSKYLABS Online Store and through the X-Plane.org store.
Just reading through the product page gives the impression this is intended to be a ‘lite’ version of the aircraft, whilst still modelling many aspects of the classic aircraft.
If you’re an X-Plane user willing to be a part of the development cycle, then you can buy it now for $19.99. Just remember, this is an aircraft very much still in development.
