This is a free update to allow owners of the MAAM-SIM R4D/DC-3/C-47 CD or Download Version for FS2004 to install and use the FS9 aircraft in Flight Simulator X. There have been many changes by Microsoft from FS9 to FSX. This update primarily addresses changes in the panel and aircraft configurations, and gauges. It will install thumbnail pictures for the FSX Select Aircraft Menu.
ATTENTION! This patch is not fully compatible with FSX Service Packs 1 and 2 or the Acceleration Expansion Pack. For a discussion of this issue, please refer to the MAAM-SIM Support Forum.
Updates all sixteen aircraft included in the 9th Edition R4D/DC-3/C-47 CD and the R4D/DC-3/C-47 Download Version, but may also be used for any previous edition FS9 CD.
This upgrade will allow you to use the planes in the new sim, but more remains to be done, and there are some features that are no longer supported by FSX. We intend to produce a full-blown FSX version of the aircraft package in the future. Includes illustrated html installation instructions which you should definitely use! By MAAM-SIM
FS2004 MAAM-SIM R4D/DC-3/C-47 VC YOKES REMOVAL
File Size - 1.6 MB
A quick fix to enable users to remove the yokes from any of the MAAM-SIM R4D-6/DC-3A/C-47 aircraft when in virtual cockpit mode. This option was originally included in the base package, but has not been since. With recent improvements released by MAAM-SIM, however, many more users are flying the aircraft from the VC and this modification allows a full view of critical navigation instruments that are otherwise blocked by the yokes. The virtual cabin remains. By Mark Beaumont for MAAM-SIM.
C-47 'ALL THEATERS' EXPANSION PACK WITH VIRTUAL COCKPIT UPGRADE FOR FS2004
File Size - 18 MB
Six new C-47 models of the USAAF, RAF, RAAF and CNAC in liveries from the ETO, CBI, SWPA, and Med Theaters of Operation. The planes feature U.S. and UK paratroop and para-drop cargo effects. The included VC Upgrade incorporates numerous fully functional controls, radio and navigator's compartments and animated pilots. By MAAM-SIM
NOTE: Requires installation of the D-Day Expansion Pack (below) if your R4D/DC-3 CD is 4th Edition or older. Newer CD's and the Download Version include the D-Day pack. This pack is included on the 9th Edition and subsequent R4D/DC-3/C-47 CDs and the Download Version.

D-Day C-47 Skytrain and Dakota Mk III Expansion Pack for MAAM-SIM R4D/DC-3 CD. Two USAAF C-47A's and two RAF Dakota Mk III's in authentic ETO liveries. Many new features, including operating American and Commonwealth paratroop and para-drop cargo effects, blue formation lights, folding paratroop bucket seats, unique para exit door animation, glider tow tail, paddle type propeller blades, authentic antenna systems, full blown typical C-47 3D cabin and many more. By MAAM-SIM
NOTE: Included on R4D / DC-3 / C-47 5th Edition CD's, produced after June 3, 2005, all subsequent editions, and the Download Version of the package.
File Size - 8.1 MB
The C-47A OY-BPB is owned and operated by The Association for Flying Museums Planes / Danish Dakota Friends and is based at Værløse, Denmark. This new photo-real model has many new features, including new engine textures, night-lit nacelles, 3-D propeller hub mechanisms, modern antennae array, and much more to duplicate the real OY-BPB. You must have the R4D/DC-3 package installed in FS2004 before you can install this add-on. By MAAM-SIM

MAAM-SIM DC-3 REPAINT TEMPLATES - KIT 1
File Size - 16.7 MB
These are 24-bit templates on which to base repaints of the FS2004/FS2002 MAAM-SIM DC-3 . This is not a 'paint kit' as such, as the original MAAM-SIM DC-3 bitmaps are partly photo-real. Rather, these are semi-finished templates on which to base further work. This initial package comprises bare metal and white top liveries for the base Passenger and Cargo DC-3 models in different variations, together with revised alpha channel templates. Simple instructions are included. These base textures reflect commonly found "background" configurations for many liveries, and will save repainters time by not having to get rid of the default color schemes found in the original package before starting work. Please note that further templates will be issued to complement any future versions of the MAAM-SIM model. The intention is that those templates can be added to this base 'paint-kit' folder, the methodology and basic instructions being similar for all paints. Where changes to the model invoke changes in texture mapping or other differences, this will be noted with each new package provided. By Mark Beaumont for MAAM-SIM, based on original textures by Jan Visser.

This little fix provides three wake and oil drip effects that were left out of the MAAM-SIM R4D / DC-3 CD, 5th Edition. It IS NOT REQUIRED for the downloaded version of the XC-47C add-on "maamxc47.zip". By MAAM-SIM
NOTE: Included from the 6th Edition R4D/DC-3/C-47 CD on, as well as the Download Version.
File Size - 16.65 MB
This texture set in Folsom's Air Service livery requires both a previous installation of the MAAM-SIM R4D-6/DC3A package and the free, add-on XC-47C aircraft that complements that package (maamxc47.zip). This aircraft was originally construction number (c/n) 11761 and was delivered to the USAAF as 41-68834 in July of 1943. A DC-3A/C-53D-DO, she flew for Eastern Airlines as NC86562 until 1952. She was converted to a float plane by Dick Folsom of Greenville, Maine, USA in 1976. Until her floats were removed recently, she was the only remaining example of a DC-3 on floats in the world. By Mark Beaumont.
NOTE: Included from the 5th Edition R4D/DC-3/C-47 CD on and the Download Version.
XC-47C AMPHIBIOUS TRANSPORT ADD-ON FOR FS2004
File Size - 4.47 MB
The Douglas XC-47C # 42-5671 was a 1943 prototype attempt to create a viable amphibious version of the workhorse C-47 by adding a pair of Edo 78 floats. Its flight performance, especially the takeoff, was less than spectacular, and a trial with rocket assisted takeoff proved unsatisfactory. Historical accounts vary on the number of amphibian Gooney Birds that were actually put into service, although 150 sets of floats were reportedly built for field installation. Most authorities cite five aircraft, some of which were said to have been used in the Pacific and Alaskan theaters for air-sea rescue missions. You must have the R4D/DC-3 package installed in FS2004 before you can install this add-on. By MAAM-SIM
NOTE: Included on the 5th Edition R4D/DC-3 CD, all subsequent editions, and the Download Version.
R4D / DC-3 SERVICE PATCH# 1 FOR FS2002
File Size - 5.2 MB
This self-installing patch corrects several issues found after release of the Douglas R4D/DC-3 CD. See the included "R4D_8_P1.txt" for complete details and installation notes. By MAAM-SIM
NOTE: This patch is not required for CD Edition 4 or later or the Download Version.
R4D / DC-3 SERVICE PATCH # 1 FOR FS2004 - INCLUDES OIL DRIP EFFECT
File Size - 5.2 MB
This self-installing patch corrects several issues found after release of the Douglas R4D/DC-3 CD. See the included "R4D_9_P1.txt" for complete details and installation notes. This self-installer also adds a new radial engine oil drip effect when the aircraft is parked. By MAAM-SIM
NOTE: This patch is not required for CD Edition 4 or later, or for the Download Version.
R4D/DC-3/C-47 USER'S MANUAL - HTML VERSION WITH EMBEDDED INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS
This file is already included on the R4D/DC-3/C-47 CD and is placed here primarily for purchaser's of the download version of that aircraft package.
This is the free software manual for the CD and Download versions of the R4D/DC-3/C-47 add-on aircraft packages.

Another of the vintage manuals from the old R4D CD, this is the 70 page Tech Order No, 01-40NC-1 "Pilot's Flight Operating Instructions - C-47 Airplane" from 1942, revised in '43. The manual, along with one for a C-46, were sent by Art & Wayne Gutschow, whose Uncle Howard was one of the heroes who flew the "Hump" in C-46's during WW-II. Now he flies our plane under much less arduous conditions. By MAAM-SIMManuel d'utilisation du R4D / DC-3 - édition française - AU FORMAT ADOBE PDF
File Size - 9.4 MB
Malgré tout les trois gros fichiers qui composent la version
html de ce manuel pourraient être trop volumineux pour certains utilisateurs, ou
d'autres ne pourraient rechercher qu'une version destinée à être imprimé.
Aussi François a également réalisé cette version au format Adobe PDF à leur
intention. Ce manuel ne contient pas les vidéos mais, d'un autre coté, ne
pèse que 10 Mo au lieu de presque 300 !
The three massive downloads that make up the html manual may be too much for some downloaders to handle, and others may just be looking for a version suitable for printing. So François produced this Adobe PDF version to serve those users. It does not contain the videos, of course, but on the other hand, it's only 10 MB, instead of nearly 300!

François Mavel, Commandant de Bord à Air France sur Airbus A320, s'est porté volontaire pour la monumentale tâche de traduire le manuel particulièrement détaillé du R4D / DC-3 du MAAM-SIM. Ce n'est pas une simple traduction du texte, puisque François a également remanié toutes les légendes des illustrations et, en plus de tout cela, a doublé sur les treize vidéos d'instruction les commentaires de Russ Strine !

François Mavel, a Captain with Air France who flies Airbus A320 series aircraft, volunteered to take on the monumental task of translating the very extensive R4D / DC-3 User's Manual for MAAM-SIM. It's not just a translation of the text, though. François has also reworked all the labels included in the many diagrams, then, to top it off, he took the thirteen instructional videos and reproduced them with voice-over translation of Russ Strine's explanations!

PANEL MODIFICATIONS AND ADD-ONS
RADIO RANGE SYSTEM -V4.0 - ADAPTATION FOR R4D-6/DC-3A/C-47
File Size - 162 KB
Complements the Radio Range System (rr40.zip) developed by Allan Greene, principal designers Dave Bitzer, Alex Nicolson, and Norman Hancock, which must be installed first. This simple gauge enables the Radio Range System to be used with the R4D-6/DC-3A/C-47 aircraft, by enabling the relevant switches on the Audio Panel. By Mark Beaumont
ALTERNATIVE PANEL FOR THE MAAM DC-3
File Size - 673 KB
This alternative panel for the MAAM-SIM R4D/DC-3/C-47 packages uses some modified MAAM-SIM bitmaps, with permission of the team, and of course requires installation the MAAM-SIM R4D aircraft, panel, and gauges. By Michael Vader
DC-3 FUEL TANK SELECTION AND AUTO-LEAN MODIFICATION
File Size - 101 KB
This gauge is applicable only to the FS2004 MAAM-SIM DC-3 (available from Mid Atlantic Air Museum Simulations at www.maam.org) or other planes using the MAAM-SIM DC-3 AIRCRAFT.CFG and MaamSim_DC3.air flight dynamics files, such as the Mark Beaumont 'IFR' Panel modification for the MAAM-SIM DC-3 (DCAMAAM4.zip, DCAMAAM5.zip). It is not calibrated for use with the stock DC-3, or the MAAM-SIM R4D flight dynamics files, or other third party aircraft. Likewise, it is not recommended for use with the MAAM-SIM DC-3 in FS2002. The purpose of this gauge is to disable FS2004's default characteristic of setting the fuel flow to the engines from "all" tanks setting, and to simulate the correct auto-rich and auto-lean settings on the mixture controls as desired. By Dave Bitzer and Mark Beaumont.
WATER RUDDER CONTROL FOR DC-3 AIRWAYS "IFR" PANEL MODIFICATION
File Size - 342 KB
This gauge is useful only to those who have two other downloads in addition to the MAAM-SIM R4D-6/DC3, itself. You must also have the XC-47C add-on, of course. Finally, you will need Mark Beaumont's 'IFR' panel for the MAAM-SIM aircraft (DCAMAAM4.ZIP), available below. This gauge adds a functional water rudders lever to the main, IFR view and VC modes, negating the necessity to use key strokes and indicating status of the rudders. This is an unofficial addition and is not configured to fit the default MAAM-SIM DC-3 panel as aliased by the XC-47C. Installation instructions are included. By Mark Beaumont
DC-3 AIRWAYS PANEL MODIFICATIONS
File Size - 129 KB
These unofficial modifications, in two versions, of the panel supplied for the DC-3 in the MAAM-SIM package were uploaded primarily for the use of DC-3 Airways VA pilots. In both versions everything has been consolidated on, or is accessible from, the Pilot's panel. Most features are accessible from the VC also. Version 1 replaces the Sperry autopilot with a Bendix autopilot and adds an HSI and RMI to the panel; Version 2 retains the Sperry but replaces the directional gyro with a more contemporary gyro with Heading bug. This panel also has an RMI and a conventional VOR1 gauge. Both panels have several other enhancements including standby radios. Modifications by Mark Beaumont of the original panels by Bill Rambow.
Note: Some pilots have reported a CTD (crash to desktop) problem with my MAAM-SIM panel modifications as uploaded in DCAMAAM4.ZIP (above). This has been pinned down to a conflict caused by the 'FSTSTuner' status light installed on the panel, which is relevant to the use of 'FSTSTuner' with 'Teamspeak' communications software. These revised PANEL.CFG files will blank off this gauge (although not remove the entry, in case you should ever wish to revert) and, hopefully, prevent any further problems of this nature. If you are experiencing no problems (particularly, when calling up the kneeboard within the sim) then you may not need the following update (DCAMAAM5.ZIP).
R4D / DC-3 PART 91 IFR PANEL MODIFICATION
File Size - 4.7 KB
This download consists of instructions to install a glare-shield mounted default Bendix King autopilot and GPS for both pilot and co-pilot's panels. This mod makes it practical for a single-pilot to conduct IFR flight in challenging weather using Jeppesen chart routes and procedures that are used in today's complex instrument navigation environment, without the more extensive alterations of the DC-3 Airways Panel Mods. By Howard SodjaBRANIFF AIRWAYS DC-3 “N34950” TEXTURES
Braniff Airlines started out in 1928 by two brothers, Paul and Tom Braniff, with one 5-passenger aircraft that flew between towns in Oklahoma, and by 1929, Texas. In the 1930’s the company added the Lockheed “Electra 10”, the Douglas DC-2, and then the DC-3. During WW2, Braniff’s aircraft became invaluable when the U.S. Army Air Corps used them to fly supplies from the mainland to the Panama Canal Zone. After the war, Braniff expanded its operations to include South America, becoming the first U.S. airline to link the 2 Americas and the title “International” was added to Braniff Airways. The airline would eventually grow to include service to Europe and Asia flying 747’s. After the de-regulation in 1979, Braniff tried to compensate for the change, but over-expanded it’s routes and fleet of aircraft too fast. It had to shut down operations in 1982 after accumulating too much debt. This repaint depicts the paint scheme that was used during the mid-1950’s.

magazine. Harold maintains a comprehensive
flightsim web site and his

Douglas C-47, and includes some excellent aerial footage. Based on a true
story by the legendary Ernest Gann, it recounts the search for a lost aircraft
in the frozen Canadian wilderness, with temperatures of 70 below. on the
ground and a blizzard or two making life interesting for Dooley and his crew.

After the occupation of the Netherlands in May 1940 several KLM DC-3's got stuck in the Dutch East Indies. One of them was PH-ALW 'Wielewaal' ('Oriole'). Although the DC-3 was operated as PK-ALW by KNILM from 1 June 1940 on, she was still owned by KLM and as such flew the shortened "Indies-route", Batavia to Lydda (Palestine, by then under British mandate). On 7 March 1942 PK-ALW was the last civil aircraft to leave the Dutch East Indies when the Japan invaded the island archipelago. From then on the aircraft continued its career in Australia, first as a military aircraft and after the war as an airliner, registered VH-INR. The DC-3 still exists (2007) as a static museum piece of the Queensland Air Museum in Caloundra, Queensland.
