Did you get your toe brakes calibrated and set up buttons for both your landing gear lock lever and another button for your landing gear retract and deploy lever? It's a real pain to have to go to the floor and use them by hand, if you don't do that. For the tail wheel lock and the parking brake, you can just click the red and green light bulbs to your left, on the main panel. 👍😉 The info for the sliders you need to program for the landing gear are in the docs. Once I got to the point that I wasn't ground looping the Stinson L-5 anymore, I didn't loop the C-47/DC-3 anymore, either. 😉

Thanks for the info. Got everything assigned to my HOTAS.

I got the C-47 version so I could have only the steam gauges and it's lovely. Always like to grab a DC-3 in any sim as it's my favorite plane. Did you pull the level to the right of your seat before trying to put the landing gear up? I forget the name but if it's down the gear won't come up.

[@WilliamBugeater64Simpson]

Thank you for watching and I will double check. I believe it's a safety switch your thinking of. 👍

[@WilliamBugeater64Simpson]

Just tested your suggestion and it surely was right. That cured the issue. Will have to remember that for the future!

@@WilliamBugeater64Simpson vskylabs have a nice little guide that comes with the plane (that I admittedly only started reading yesterday) but it can cover a few of the quirks of both the old plane and the devs' sometimes odd interface design. Happy flying!

Do they really have them with glass cockpit?

[@WilliamBugeater64Simpson]

Yes, there have been some upgraded to different glass cockpit suits in both the DC-3 and BT-67 (Turboprop version)👍

[@weswheel4834]

I just wish you could toggle between the old and the new cockpits.

[@Uajd-hb1qs]

It looks like it has a Russian cockpit.
