C-47 V3.14 Fixes 

This package from DIGITAL DAKOTA WORKS (Jan Visser and team) adds several fixes to an existing FSX/FSX-SE/P3D DOUGLAS C-47R SKYTRAIN V3.14 BETA installation. 


OVERVIEW 
(See picture fixes_overview.jpg)

1. Multiplayer capable exterior models with adjustments to props, chocks, and steps. (Chocks are now linked to the "spoiler" variable. If you have a control key assigned to spoiler, you can handle the chocks via that key. Steps now deploy/retract automatically with the operation of door #1.) 

2. Exterior animated windscreen wipers. (Note that if you turn the wipers on in the VC and then switch to spot view, the wiper sound will continue. In this case you can use Monitor > Misc to make them run without any sound.) 

3. Improved hardware mixture lever support. (All detents including Idle Cutoff selectable. Take care not to select ICOF unintentionally, as this will shut down your engines.) 

4. "Checklist completed" soundbite now plays when completing a checklist page. 

5. AH airplane representation white dot corrected. (now integrated with airplane rep.)

6. Overhead paratrooper switches corrected.

7. Altitude gauge pressure indicator corrected.

8. RMI/ADF needles to park horizontally when battery or avionics are OFF.

9. COM/NAV radios tunable with battery off. (Rotary knobs operate mechanically.)

10. Blinking red transponder light when turned ON.

11. New hydraulics sound.

INSTALLATION

1. Go to your "Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.14" folder and make backup files of your current aircraft.cfg's.

2. Open the zip file and copy all files/folders from the 'Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.14' folder  to the respective target folders. Allow files to be overwritten.

3. If you have installed any add-on paints use your backed-up aircraft.cfg to copy the [fltsim] sections and paste them into the new aircraft.cfg. 

4. If you want to replace your current 'Gear Up/Gear Down' sound with the included alternate sound (more realistic) open the 'sound' folder of your 'Douglas_C-47_Beta_V3.14' folder  and change the name of the current sound.cfg into something like 'sound_org.cfg'. Open the 'Alternate hydraulics sound' folder and copy all 3 files to your 'Douglas_C- 47_Beta_V3.14/sound' folder. 


The Monitor>Test panel will acknowledge the presence of the fixes as VC version 3.1406.
