Basics of starting the Douglas DC-3 from cold and dark and flying MSFS

In this video I'll show you how to start the DC-3 in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Also you'll learn how to manage the engines flaps and landing gear. I'll show you basics of navigation too.

Nicely explained, thank you. One small thing. Wouldn't you turn off the boosters once engine has started.

Depends on who you listen to. Different real pilots have different procedures. I read keep them on while climbing, descending and when under 3000 feet or over 10000. They should remain on when ever there is the possibility you may need to restart the engine or when it may be stressed. So off at cruise, but on the rest of the time and if cruise is over 10,000.

Just to clarify, the "primers" are different from the boost pumps. The primers should turn off automatically after engine start.

It seems the superchargers have no effect regardless of altitude. Nice video, thanks....

Glad you liked it. After flying it a lot, I think you are right. They seem to not be modeled
